Re: Calcium Absorption: How to absorb 100% of the calcium

This is something I've done a lot of research on. It's very complicated I'm afraid.

Firstly, you want to get more calcium than phosphorous in your diet. Grains, beans, nuts, seeds, meats, eggs, pasta, breads, and about 50% of fruits (and most roots) have much more phosphorous than calcium.

The only food source type that consistently has more calcium than phosphorous are leafy greens.

Leafy green vegetables actually contain more calcium than anything else, especially when measured correctly (which is by calorie, not volume, as I explain in my book "Vitamin Confusion Solution").

You absolutely must also have adequate:

Magnesium
Vitamin D
Iron
Vitamin C

If you're looking for bone density, you'll need healthy kidneys because kidneys are what produce the bone marrow. For healthy kidneys you'll need clean blood which requires high levels of iron and vitamin C.

For calcium absorption and utilization you'll need vitamin D and magnesium.
