If I don't like dairy products....?

Question

Should I take Vitamin C or Calcium?

Answer 1

You need both. They are two entirely different sources.

Answer 2

Dairy doesn't naturally contain Vitamin C though some of it is fortified with Vitamin D which you also get directly from the sun. If you're going to cut out dairy entirely, you should take a calcium supplement.

Answer 3

Supplements are okay to take. You would need to replace your calcium, Vit A and D as well. However, it is always better to get your nutrients that occur naturally in foods than supplements.

Vitamin C is not generally found in dairy products. If you are drinking juice (fortified with Vit C) or eating fruits and vegetables (broccoli) you are most likely getting your Vit C from these sources

Take a look at the following sources for sources of these naturally occuring Vitamins and Minerals.

Answer 4

Definately take Vitamin C, and Vitamin D to absorb the calcium pills. I can't tolerate dairy products but choose Lactose products which is easier for my body to digest. But yes...Vitamin D will help absorb the calcium in your body to help with your bones so you wont get osteoperosis*
GOODLUCK*
