calcium supplementation
...would be the term, e.g. see here:
"...Calcium supplementation also may lead to constipation, so patients should ingest adequate amounts of fiber (e.g., psyllium)..."
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/497826
..."Calcium supplements" refers to the products, while your German term refers to the procedure.

"""Calcium replacement""" would be another option, e.g. see here:

Discussion
This "Substitution", though, seems to mean "erneuern" as well in German. Not so in English (as far as I know). So sticking with "substitution" would've been incorrect, right? False freinds etc.?
