You do not need to take supplement. Other foods also have calcium. You could increase your intake of milk as it has both calcium and vitamin D.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
