I have been looking into absorbable sources of calcium this week and found an interesting paleo article that broke down highest sources of calcium and then gave an absorbsion number. since I have a problem with veggies it has been more difficult to find natural sources. chicken bones like nibbling off the end of a chicken drumstick about a penny weight provides 1000mg and absorbable is 270 mg. needless to say besides my sardines this morning I grabbed a couple drumsticks and chewed the ends. LOL! I took a vitamin D supplement too even though they don't tend to agree with me. no sun around here today.

How accurate this article is or where the science came from I don't know but I have always heard bone meal was a good source of calcium. so those chicken lovers chew off the end of your drumsticks to get some natural calcium.

I found an article by the dairy industry that did similar comparison and showed samples of food types needless to say they did not mention bone and they mentioned salmon with bones and sardines with bones but did not show them in comparison to the absorbsion of milk.

I have trouble with calcium and vitamin D. I’m at a normal place for normal people. However my oncologist keeps reminding me that my normal has changed and I need double what the average person needs. More if possible to keep the osteopenia from going to osteoporosis. It’s hard to remember to take something every couple of hours though 😳. I have major issues swallowing big pills so it’s chewables for me. 5-10 for vitamin d depending on the day (she has me increase it twice a week) and 2 a day for calcium. I can take up to 2 vit d with 1 calcium at a time with at least 2-3 hours between. I guess it’s also best that I take my multivitamin at a different time as well as my skin supplement. 😳 Add to that 2 antidepressants and it’s like I’m a pill popping junkie haha. Except that all are chewable other than the antidepressant.

I don't absorb pills well I prefer my suppliments to be in powder form and add them to water to drink during the day. most calcium suppliments are very difficult to absorb so you get less absorbed then you think. canned salmon with the bones has both a good source of vitamin D and calcium. If you can tolerate eating that it might help. I don't blame you to feel that way I would hate to take pills all day too.

Nothing fishy for me except tuna :/. I was told the tums type of calcium is more digestible so I grabbed some of that. Forgot to ask which is better caltrate or citrate though. My family dr said if nothing else take tums.

What about bone broth and bone marrow? Have you looked those up?

I had a college professor who are a piece of chalk for the first day. Everyone just gagged. Then he said this is the stuff Tums was made of.

I don't tolerate bone broth Marx I was making it for myself for the health benefits and had reactions to it. histamine I guess as there was nothing else in there but old bones
