Calcium is a mineral and is best absorbed when taken with food.
Lactose (from milk) and Vitamin D can enhance calcium absorption, while high fat foods, iron, and caffeine can reduce it.
Calcium can be found in dairy products, dark leafy vegetables, fish with soft edible bones (or bone meal) and calcium fortified products.
