I do best consuming ~ 2,000mg of calcium a day.
I feel the most calm and balanced and don’t suffer from muscle soreness or body stiffness. High-quality organic, and preferably raw, dairy products are phenomenal sources of calcium as are bone broths, fish bones, and even almonds.But since I would need to drink 2 quarts of milk to hit this quota, I sometime rely on a calcium supplement, especially when I’m nursing or pregnant.
Which one to chose? Calcium citrate? Hydroxide? Gluconate? Aspartate? Or Coral Calcium? And, I could go on!
But as natural mamas, we know that the best source is FOOD since it’s the mostly easily accessible for the body.
Did you know that eggshells are a great, inexpensive, natural source of calcium?
