Q: i heard that you are supposed to take vitamin d with calcium supplement. what if you do not is it serious?

Calcium &amp; Vit D: No, it is not serious. You should be getting calcium from the foods you eat anyway. Vit D has an effect on calcium so it may be beneficial to add a supplement but if you get good you should be good.
