susiecat - be sure to get a calcium supplement with vitamin D. My doctor has me taking this and he said that there are many studies now that show calcium is (okay my mind went blank....)better absorbed with vitamin D???
I think thats it. I'll look it up though to make sure about the absorption thing. But I do know my doctor told me about this.
Geesh a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Okay I looked it up and it helps with absorption. Also can be a benefit in weight loss and reducing risk for certain cancers.
