Citracal calcium citrate Review

I went to an orthopedic specialist for a full body bone scan and discovered my bones, in my doctor's words, "look like sponges!"  That set me back a bit!  He told me to take 2000 units of calcium citrate a day and he recommended Citracal.  (I was told that the citrate helps your body absorb the calcium.)  The product has 500 units of Vitamin D and 400/mg. of Calcium in two tablets.  I've now been taking this product for three years and there has been a marked difference in my scan.  At 64 now, I cannot afford to have any breaks and I'm trying to guard against the possibility.  Most women are calcium deficient and so are most men!  My partner was just diagnosed with a dangerously low Vitamin D deficiency and he has joined me in taking Citracal every day.  I am against the new calcium injectibles, like Reclast, because they are new and we haven't discovered just how good something like this is that you only get once a year.  My doctor did recommend it but I'm sticking with the Citracal, since it does appear to be working.  My bone scan and doctor visit was over $600 so save yourself the money and take the Citracal three or four times a day!
