We hear and read a lot on vitamins as being expensive urine.
However I still believe in them. Got to do some research to find out the gems among the zillions of brands.
I had to check out the BlueBonnet vitamins and here is what I found out:

While checking on BlueBonnet, here is information about CALCIUM supplements
How much calcium to take? Since you can't absorb more than about 500 mg of calcium at a time, consider limiting intake from supplements to 500 mg or less at a time and, certainly, no more than 1,000 mg total per day. Also, be sure you are getting enough vitamin D, as it is necessary for your body to absorb and utilize calcium from both foods and supplements and may reduce some of the risks associated with calcium supplements. Vitamin D is in many of the supplements tested in this Review. For extensive information about vitamin D, see the Vitamin D Supplements Review. It's at the following page:

FAQ
Q: What foods are rich in calcium?
A: Dairy is the most obvious type of food that’s rich in calcium; milk, yogurt, and cheese are all excellent sources of calcium.
Beyond dairy, though, other foods like almonds, kale, broccoli, beans, and even salmon are rich sources of calcium.
Some fortified foods, like breakfast cereals, also contain calcium, but it’s added in a low-cost supplemental form, not a naturally-occurring form.
Even with a lot of foods in your diet that are high in calcium, it’s still important to make sure your vitamin D intake is also high, because without vitamin D, you can’t make use of the calcium in your diet.
