A member asked:

Is it safe to take calcium supplements in moderation as i can't eat dairy produce..thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

600mg of Ca a day should be safe, but the safety of taking Ca in general has been debated, make sure supplementation is indeed needed. I prefer Ca rich foods like dark leefy greens, beans, sardines etc.
