Using Calcium Wisely: Dose, Form, and Timing (Part 2)
20m | Oct 27, 2026Calcium carbonate or citrate—and how much of your calcium should come from food before you reach for a supplement? In this second episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman provides a clear "reset" for your calcium approach, replacing guesswork with a practical, food-first system.
Dr. Mike walks through what to stop—including treating calcium like bone health insurance and taking large single doses—and what to start, such as estimating your dietary intake and filling only the remaining gap with a supplement. He explains the differences between calcium carbonate and citrate, why timing matters for certain medications, and how to avoid common pitfalls with kidney stones and digestive side effects.
This episode offers a simple, actionable framework to help you determine your personal calcium gap and make informed decisions without obsessing over milligrams. If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering which calcium to buy, this reset provides the clarity you need.
Tune in for grounded, practical guidance on using calcium wisely.
