I take Mag-Citrate off and on and D-3 daily, but just say no to calcium. Most all minerals are gut busters and I have a hard enough time with my mag & zinc.
Calcium isn't supposed to be all that common a deficiency, and as the over-mineralization theory of aging opines... Humans do tend to petrify with minerals as they age, particularly calcium (and iron!). It collects in our arterial plaques and turns them to ridged eggshells. I'm a surgical technician and have actually seen these "egg-shell" aortas first hand. A fine mess I'd like to avoid!
Unless you are entirely dairy free, you're getting all the calcium you need. If you are a non-dairy kind of guy, I'd invest in a pill cutter and might take very low doses of cal intermittently, a couple of times a week at most.
