Tip #1 for stronger bones: Pick a Soluble Calcium Supplement

Not all calcium is created equal. The most common forms of calcium (calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium citrate) are virtually insoluble in water, making them far less absorbable by the body. In comparison, calcium lactate gluconate (used in hospital IV drips) is 2067% more soluble than calcium citrate and way more absorbable.

Tip #2 for stronger bones:Include the Cofactors

In addition to vitamin D, micronutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, manganese, riboflavin, boron and potassium help with calcium absorption and retention. Inulin, commonly found in artichoke, can also increase calcium absorption by 18%.

Tip #3 for stronger bones:Work Out

Use it or lose it. Weight bearing exercises 30 minutes a day most days of the week will help your body retain calcium to provide stronger bones in support of those exercises.

Tip #4 for stronger bones:Limit Smoking and Alcohol

Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption have been linked to increased chances for osteoporosis and lower bone density at all ages. Limit both to improve your bone health.

Tip #5 for stronger bones:Get Some Sun

15 minutes of sun exposure a day without the use of sun block helps produce natural vitamin D which helps with calcium absorption. Side effects may include a gorgeous bronze tan.
