You can always get a calcium fortified orange juice to slug your pills down with. Also Vitamin D3 (the bioactive form) with K2 comes in a liquid from Thorne and you only need a couple of drops. In addition to helping you utilize calcium, Vit D is important for nerve health and low levels have been correlated with chronic pain. Deficiency is not uncommon. Even living in Texas and getting daily sun, my levels were low. They drop, along with so many other things as we age.

Feel better soon,
