      There are other sources of calcium in the diet (a dietition or a dietetic food website will have lists of foods - broccoli I believe is one).

      Over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements (especially the less expensive brands) often have the wrong kind of calcium for proper body absorbtion. Your doctor should be able to recommend or prescribe a quality brand, and/or start her on a medication specifically for osteoporosis (like boniva).
