Supplements for Healthy Bones
Most Americans get enough calcium, except girls ages 9-18. Two types of calcium supplements are commonly available: calcium carbonate and calcium citrate, which are equally beneficial. Splitting your dose -- taking half in the morning and half later in the day -- improves absorption. Check with a doctor about the upper limit for calcium. Too much can lead to kidney stones. Getting adequate vitamin D aids the absorption of calcium.
