Calcium supplementation can play a valuable role in bone health throughout the lifecycle. In bone health, it is paramount not only to ensure adequate calcium intake but also intake of adequate vitamin D and the other micronutrients important to bone health. Calcium from carbonate and citrate should be the forms of choice for supplementation. Calcium carbonate is cost-effective but should be taken with meals to optimize absorption, but is contraindicated in patients with achlorhydria or those taking gastric acid suppression medications such as H2 blockers or protein-pump inhibitors. Calcium citrate is recommended in these situations. There is insufficient evidence to recommend hydroxyapatite at this time as a reliable supplement. The dose of elemental calcium should not exceed 500 mg at a time. The absorption of calcium from fortified beverages is generally less than that of milk and cannot be considered a reliable source of bioavailable calcium.
