I get enough calcium from other sources, plus I'm not scared of the sun so I get my D also :) I love almond milk, coconut milk and rice milk.

I see a big difference in my energy level, clearer sinuses & no more bloating. I cut back on my meat intake as well. I've just been doing this for a week and hope it will clear up some minor skin problems as well. Eating a lot more fruits & veggies. Addicted to smoothies!

Not all calcium supplements are created equal. You have to do your homework. I do drink milk, but not for the calcium. I just love milk, although I've really slowed down on it in recent months. I used to go through a gallon a day! I've heard a lot of arguments against milk. My main reason for slowing down is the quality of milk we get these days. If you think the FDA has your best interests at heart, think again. The milk that we get is full of yuckiness that most folks don't know about, or want to think about. If you can get your milk raw, it's a much better quality than the processed stuff you get at any store. There is some debate over raw milk as well, but if quality is your concern, go raw and organic. It's the closest you can get to having your own cow. If you take calcium supplements, I think it’s important to also mention the quality of calcium you are getting.

Chocolate milk is still my favorite post workout snack. I would consider myself a big milk drinker, but not just for the calcium. Chocolate milk is still my favorite post workout snack.

Calcium is best absorbed in the presence of Vitamin D. Just remember to pair a non-dairy source of calcium with something that contains vitamin D, like fatty fish or eggs.
