Check the amount of vitamin D in the calcium supplement, because many contain a minimal amount. If you don't get 2,000 IU at least shoot for 1,000 IU. Or if you get some UV sunlight you can get plenty even after 20 minutes or so. It's the difference between adequate to survive and ideal. A roll of pH tape is very cheap and it would help you figure out exactly where you're at. There are a lot of studies that indicate increased bone density from vitamin D, unchanged bone density (no improvement) from a source of calcium with vitamin D, and reduced bone density from calcium alone. One theory is that calcium alone depletes the vitamin D so that there is less available calcium.

Sodium ascorbate wouldn't hurt but I would get the body to regulate its own pH before figuring out how to force it. Besides calcium is essential for 1,000 things besides pH, and without vitamin D you can't use calcium. This sounds like curing a fever with ice packs; the person isn't really cured. And how much ascorbate are you even consuming that it isn't 1/100th the amount of all the other sour things you eat?
