NO calcium citrate is much better, will be absorbed without taking with food. You will notice calcium carbonate, is cheap, calcium citrate is not. My sister has been taking the carbonate forever. Hasn't helped her at all (she walks a lot also) she has had all manner of infusions and other crappy procedures and hasn't boosted her bones at all.

When she was much younger, broke her wrist. Then broke a toe ramming it into a door.
Why she wanted to do that I will never know.!

I was on Fosamax -, never helped me at all. But I was on it 11 years, when "they discovered." You shouldn't be on it for more than 5. Stopped taking it.
 
I'm surprised you having cattle and not being a milk drinker for some reason.:confused:
Quite a few people I know have stopped drinking it.
Well, we only have beef cattle :) I've never liked milk. I would use it in cereal and flavored milks as a kid, but I only use it for baking/cooking now. I tried it as recently as a couple years ago thinking my tastes may have changed, but that was a big no :p We've talked about getting a dairy cow for this particular reason. I haven't had the opportunity to try fresh milk, as it's illegal to sell here, but it has to be better! My dad and grandma don't/didn't like it either. Mom and brother were/are a different story. They'd drink glass after glass.

I've been thinking about giving it up. The problem is my late night hot chocolate drink.:(
 
Have to agree there Shad cannot have hot cocoa if it is just water grew up a cattle ranch but had 6 milk cows as most stopped there at that time Ma said she could tell if I was not home as I drank darn near a gallon on my own every week
I think there may be substitutes for cows milk that may not ruin the taste but I don't know what they would be.
 
Why are you thinking about giving it up? If you don't mind my asking.
A few reasons.
I'm not keen on making cows pregnant in order to be able to milk them.
There is an intensive but rather antiquated milk farm close by and I've spent enough time there (they have chickens) to know that the setup there is what I would consider as cruel so I don't like that.
I should for health reasons eat less dairy produce. However, that's quite difficult for me given I don't eat much meat...basically it means proper cooking and I don't like that either!
I'm going to check the alternatives out.
