How long does it take?
I've been deficient for about 7 years now. I'm recently using calcium glycinate.

Supplements generally sucks at repleting calcium, in my experience. Can you drink milk?

Have tried calcium citrate but it seems it doesn't work. Then I tried glycinate and the effect was almost overnight.

About the milk, I have access only to conventional pasteurized cow milk.
I've tried gomad in the past and I become huge and fat

Was that full fat milk? Your calorie intake was most likely very high and that contributed to weight gain and not the milk as a specific food.

Besides milk, another way to increase your calcium/phosphate ratio in a meal is to mix some calcium supplement in your meal. Meal example:
White rice + beef + butter + 500 mg of calcium carbonate mixed in.
This is actually working even better than milk in my experience.
Drinking a lot of milk provides a lot of liquid which can make some people cold.
Eating solid food is warming and grouding, but often has a poor calcium/phospate ratio because of the meat.
Another benefit is that the calcium inhibits the iron absorption from the red meat.
I actually got this idea from people on amazon review calcium supplement saying that they mixed calcium carbonate powder in their dogs food since dogs need to have a good calcium to phosphate ratio too.

calcium carbonate is an extremely potent antacid, maybe for a dogs stomach it can be okay. But this is the last thing I’d take if I want to digest some chewy beef

so let me get this straight, you drank a gallon of whole milk a day, got fat, and now want a calcium source but you don't want to drink milk cause of your bad experience? why don't you just drink a normal amount of low fat milk, like 3 or 4 cups? or cheese or yogurt. pasteurized milk is completely fine

It is said that dissolving with apple cider vinegar and in acetate form will not be a problem.

It's not easy to maintain a higher calcium to phosphate level. How are people achieving this?

Eggshells. Not sure how well I digest them though.
Thanks. I was hoping not to have to supplement calcium. I drink milk but once I add meat/oat bran the phosphate level is too high
