Any of the calcium supplements available in the market can be taken.
Dosage of calcium should be at least 1200mg per day. So any brand which contains this much calcium can be taken.
Additionally take Vitamin D3 60000 IU once a week for 8 weeks. You can do a Vitamin D3 assay before if you so desire.
