Don't take calcium as a supplement, it's crap.

Studies have shown taking calcium supplements raise the chance of cardiovascular diseases.
It doesn't even give you strong bones. If you want strong bones, do sports, take vitamin d, k1, k2, a, and magnesium (but not as magnesium oxide).
You get enough calcium from food, there's no need to have excess amount. The problem is majority people nowadays have vitamin k deficiency. Vitamin K is responsible for directing calcium to the bones. If you have vitamin K deficiency the Ca will just stay in your bloodstream and calcifies your veins from inside, making them inelastic.

No need for any supplements unless there's a deficiency confirmed by blood panel.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

It depends. Some supplements are justified and beneficial, others are not needed and can even be harmful.

Is it really 2021 and people still don't know multivitamin supplements exist and you don't have to buy and take vitamins separately?

multivitamins are usually crap tbh, their marketing is good, sure... I prefer to take them separately
Calcium is useless/harmful even if it's taken as part of multivitamin.

Very interesting!

Most doctors won't tell you this because they simply don't care about supplements. They only care about drugs. Many of them will even recommend taking calcium to treat or to prevent osteoporosis.

Some require higher concentrations of certain vitamins, whereas multivitamins usually give you just the recommended amount for the average human.

In general, I suggest everyone to get the free vitamin report of their genotype from foundmyfitness.com/genetics

It is led by this researcher:

"The study, published on the British Medical Journal's website, found that people over the age of 50 don't get stronger bones by eating calcium-packed dairy products or taking calcium supplements.
In fact, those who took calcium were just as likely to suffer from fractures as those who did not."

"After analyzing 10 years of medical tests on more than 2,700 people in a federally funded heart disease study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine and elsewhere conclude that taking calcium in the form of supplements may raise the risk of plaque buildup in arteries and heart damage,"
