I know my diet is AWFUL. I don't cook and eat mostly cafeteria + fast food.
I've been considering taking a multi-vitamin for a long time. I have a history of osteoporosis in the family, and a doctor once told me that my bones are too thin.
SO! I want to take a multi-vitamin (Centrum) and a calcium supplement (Caltrate D).
Is this safe? Is there anything such as TOO MUCH CALCIUM?
Also, I read on the net that Centrum doesn't work because it isn't "time-released". Is this true? Does it matter?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's safe to take them together. I always have.
The thing about Centrum is crap. Vitamins are vitamins.
Just be sure not to take a calcium supplement that has phosphorous in it because it destroys the absorption of calcium.

Best advise is to take Caltrate & Vitamin D daily

Not advisable coz you already have a centrum, which is a multivitamins and does contain calcium.
