I'd forget Coral Calcium (too expensive) and try a multi-mineral
supplement that balanced calcium, magnesium and Phosphorous. And yes, 1K
mg. of Calcium per day is the USRDA and what has worked for me.

I, too, am leery of the extra calories that milk supplies. I've not had
milk in years.

I understand. ;-)

Besides, a pill is less trouble and at the price of milk nowadays, far
cheaper!
