Thanks , true

I go for a yearly exam with my General P
This Dr. told me not to take any more calcium supplements
She told me I take enough with the sardines , salmon ( with bones ,of course).
I was losing weight
She is great and I have been seeing her for over 25 years

She came to this conclusion by giving me a blood test which checks my cholesterol , calcium levels and other things

Taking supplements can have some side effects, it is better to take complete nutrients form your food. Eat calcium rich food like kale and broccoli, milk and other dairy products, fish and soy products..
