A member asked:

Is it okay to swallow calcium supplements with orange juice or does the orange juice make the calcium less absorbable.

OK: Orange juice doesn't reduce absorption of calcium supplements and improves absorption of calcium carbonate. It is also important to have adequate Vit D; most adults need at least 5000 iu/day in fall and winter.
