Almost 2 years ago, I fell down and broke my foot. It was a bit random how it happened, and it wasn't fun at all. It was incredibly inconvenient, and costly from a business standpoint. I couldn't walk nor could I drive.
Healing quickly was a key priority. I did a lot of research, and I did whatever I could to heal quickly (including not putting weight on it for 2 weeks, having lots of calcium and eating better and having more vitamins that would help my bones grow back faster. )

So, when it came to calcium, I wanted to do whatever I could to make sure my body absorbed it the best it could. Hint: Having vitamin D at the same time helps, avoiding caffeine helps, and not having too much calcium at once helps (your body can only absorb a little bit at a time). So how do you solve that without having to eat bits throughout the day????
Simple. My mom recommended this product called Citracal and she had been using it for years based on her Doctor's recommendation. And, Voila! It is a slow release product which means it automatically gives you small doses throughout the day.
So, now I've been using this product for close to 2 years. And, I have been telling people about this. And, of course, now that I've been through this trying experience, every time I see people with broken bones, I'm much more sympathetic and helpful. In fact, I notice it much more. I tell them about this calcium product because it's great - both for healing bones and for maintaining bone health.
I've been buying in my supermarket, but I just searched for it on Amazon, and of course, it's much less expensive there, so I think when I need to get more, I'm going to order it there.
So, that's my public service announcement for the day.
