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...
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Vitamin D Deficiency

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
