Never take calcium tablets . Best for calcium is to deep fry fish bones and drink them to powder . Take 1/2 teaspoonful a day . Your body can easily absorb that without any side effects .

They make pills that are similar to that: calcium hydroxyapatite. They don't raise blood calcium as much as old-school supplements, yet are at least as good at building bone. (Spikes in blood calcium from supplements are suspected of causing hardening of the arteries.)
