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

[JamesBond007]

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.

Vitamin K deficiency ? More like Vitamin D deficiency is more common.

[JamesBond007]

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

It depends some people are genetically prone to be deficient in certain vitamins and minerals also certain prescription drugs can zap out specific nutrients from your system where taking specific supplements makes sense.

Vitamin K deficiency ? More like Vitamin D deficiency is more common.

Both are common. The point is if you take take vitamin D you should take vitamin K too.
Vitamin D raises calcium level in your blood which is undesirable in the long run if you aren't taking vitamin K. Taking vitamin D alone is still probably better than not taking anything at all. Taking calcium and vitamin-d supplements simultaneously (but not taking vitamin K) is straight up madness.

Calcium is needed from the diet, not as a supplement. The supplement is useless and even harmful for old people who have Osteoporosis.

This sounds like something my dad would tell me. He's been going to those vitamin/health food stores since like 1979.

Same, my dad was popping BCAA tabs like they were candy, back in the day

Everytime one of us started to feel sick, he gave us those Zinc tabs you put under your tongue, and vitamin C too, of course.

Yup, good old zinc and Vitamin C. Our dads are probably around same age. I think my dad started to buy them in the late 70s when the health food and vitamins culture was starting to blossom and never looked back.

Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life

The secret to avoiding calcium-related osteoporosis and atherosclerosis
While millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones, the truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue (like the arteries)--leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox." This is the first book to reveal how universal a Vitamin K2 deficiency is, and the risk (in the form of cancer and diabetes, among other ailments) the absence of Vitamin K2 poses.
