Mrs D this one may be for you. Thanks
People taking Vit D to improve blood levels, typically don't need
calcium supplements much. Vit D will improve calcium absorption from food.

But for people taking acid blocking drugs every day, some calcium may be needed...these drugs block absorption of both magnesium AND calcium.

Up to 70% of people can be low in magnesium alone! This is from taking some drugs, diabetes, or poor dietary intake.
