Today I’m going to cover the best sources of calcium. You want to try to get your calcium from food instead of supplements if possible. Many people take calcium carbonate, which is like consuming rocks. 

I don’t believe milk is a good source of calcium because it’s pasteurized. I also don’t think yogurt is a good source of calcium because it typically has a lot of sugar. Kefir might be a good alternative to yogurt.

Foods rich in calcium:
• Cheese — (grass-fed, organic, and hormone-free) 1oz. = 240mg of calcium 
• Sesame seeds — 1 tsp. = 90mg of calcium
• Tahini — 1 tbs. = 63mg of calcium
• Sardines — 1 can = 370mg of calcium
• Kale — 1 cup = 94mg of calcium
• Broccoli — 1 cup = 178mg of calcium
• Salmon — 3oz. = 180mg of calcium

You don’t eliminate as much calcium as some other nutrients like magnesium. Calcium and magnesium actually work together. You may want to get your magnesium from vegetables. 

If your stomach is too alkaline, you may not be able to absorb calcium. Also, if you’re deficient in vitamin D, you may not be able to transport or absorb calcium. A vitamin K2 deficiency could cause you not to be able to mobilize calcium.
