A member asked:
Is calcium and vitamin d3 better absorbed when taken together or can they be taken separately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, please take: Calcium w/vitamin d3 because the d will guide it to the proper place, the bones, rather than the blood vessels. There are other co-factors as well. Biron, silicon, vitamin k, etc. There are products available that contain calcium w/one or more co-factors. That's the simplest way to go. Peace and good health.
