If you are already getting 6-8 times your daily amount of calcium you need why would you take more?? Great way to end up with atherosclerosis tho...
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The point is if you don't take vitamin D with calcium it won't be absorbed well. You don't need to take extra calcium: if you have a meal which contains calcium you can take your vitamin D then. Supplement companies tend to put them together because most people don't take their supplements with food and don't care about synergy between nutrients.
I don't know that it's true we consume too much calcium anyway.
[edit] I got it wrong anyway; calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed, not the other way around.
Marmel is right on most people being deficient. Even had an endocrinologist lecture to us in med school saying that endocrinologists know that the current daily recommended Vitamin D levels (around 800-2000 IU daily depending on the source) are way too low than the actual necessary, and that they are working on trying to get it increased by a lot. Which means most people following the RDA's are themselves probably deficient.
