[youngman]

what has the best amount, or best variety of calcium as far as supplements go

[LethalGunz34]

The regular recommended dosage for calcium is 1000mg. Bodybuilders should supplement with 2,000-2,500mg of calcium daily.

whats the best supplement to offer that amount of calcium?

2,000 mg from supplements is excessive. Get at least 1,000 mg. from supplementation and get the rest from your diet.

Here's a two month supply of calcium for $12.96....

Any calcium supplement is fine. Don't forget about milk and other dairy products either. If I were you, I'd get 1,000mg from pills and the rest from foods containing calcium.

If you don't workout on regular basis then 2,000mg is definitely too much.

Cal/Mag Asporotate by Solaray is tops! It combines the three highest forms of absorbable Calcium with the recommended 50% Magnesium ratio.
