A member asked:

Heard conflicting advise on calcium dosage for men. what is optimum dose if i have diabetes, osteoperosis & osteomalacia but normal calcium levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't take calcium: You need to take sufficient vitamin d from sun or supplements to be in the high side of normal. This may require as much as 10, 000 units of vitamin d3 a day. Do not take calcium supplements. All healthy unprocessed food contains calcium and all the other necessary minerals like magnesium.And zinc that you need. Small doses of zinc blocks osteoclasts. Cadmium plays a role in all these problems.
