Acccrete D3

[TAB100]

My Dr wants me to take Accrete D3, calcium & Vit D. Can anyone tell me if this is safe to take this with B12 deficiency. I take vit D3 5000 but they want me to take calcium for my bones.

Something in the back of my mind tells me their are safe and unsafe cacium tablets. Any advice is appreciated. Thankyou x

TAB100,

What is your calcium result and range?

[TAB100 in reply to Clutter]

I wasn't told, my MS nurse said it would be preventative against osteo arthritis .

TAB100,

I personally wouldn't supplement calcium unless I was calcium deficient but as far as I know I'm not at risk of developing osteo arthritis. Perhaps you could ask your nurse what you calcium result and range is?

There's no contraindication to taking B12 and calcium.

You might need to take vit k2, to direct the calcium to the bones.

I have read that MS levels increase the further we move away from the equator - so suggesting VitD plays its part. VitD is a steroidal pro-hormone and also anti-inflammatory so I would think it good for you to take.

VitD also improves the uptake of calcium from your foods so maybe not important to take additional calcium unless you are very low. Strangely enough there is more than just calcium to prevent bone issues - you may find Dr Myhills take on osteoporosis helpful - I realise it is not arthritis - but its bones ! She covers most things on her website ....

The VitK2 MK7 has many benefits including directing calcium away from the arteries and into the bones and teeth .
