There are several types of soluble calcium supplement available, but the very best also include magnesium and Vitamin D. The reason is that Calcium is not naturally absorbed into the body, and without the magnesium and Vitamin D, the calcium supplement would simply pass through your digestive system.

Remember that if magnesium and Vitamin D are not included in your supplement, then you would have to take them separately for the calcium to be effective.

In addition to calcium, glucosamine is needed to generate the cartilage essential for the protection of your bones. Glucosamine forms the connective tissue responsible for tendons, ligaments, blood vessel walls, skin, and many other parts of your body.  That is why any calcium supplement should also contain glucosamine. Glucosamine is used as a preventive treatment for osteoarthritis and other problems of the connective tissue. Although it does not form cartilage directly itself it is used by the body to create glucosaminoglycans which are directly responsible.

One final thought…Rheumatoid arthritis responds well to Omega 3 fatty acids and 3 and 6 are recommended for the treatment of osteoporosis because they deposit calcium in the bones and help to increase their strength. There is evidence that if you are deficient in these fatty acids, then you will suffer bone loss quicker than those with an adequate supply.  So a calcium supplement that also includes a balanced blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9 will help protect you even further from the effects of arthritis and osteoporosis.
