Experiences with

Also does anyone know where i can purchase high dosage calcium citrate tablets. Many Thanks this group has saved me many times. Thanks again

It replied, "Calcium citrate is generally BETTER absorbed than calcium carbonate: Calcium CITRATE: Absorbs well with or without food, and is recommended for people with low stomach acid or inflammatory bowel disease.

I have been taking 1,000 mg of calcium citrate tablets daily, these supplements come in capsules of 100mg of elemental calcium each, therefore I’m taking 10 spaced throughout the day. My GP says why not take Calcichew 500mg twice a day instead? I’m hesitant because they are calcium carbonate.

I take calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, biotin with zinc & selenium plus Omega 3 (approved by Consultant ).

citrate 500 should I take them.

I was told to buy Vitamin D 3000iu and I take it daily ( vitD3 & K2) Having read stuff on this brilliant forum I also bought calcium citrate. I take 1 tablet which is 250mgs and try to eat a calcium rich diet. I was just wondering what the experts current advice was regarding these supplements?

I have read that Calcium Citrate is more gentle on the stomach so I am trying to find what the equivalent calcium citrate is to calcium carbonate.

I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Thanks

how do you know if you are getting enough calcium through foods, I have just ordered 500mg of calcium citrate, I'm not messing around measuring this and measuring that, and the 20mg of famatodine that I take won't help, the calcium citrate I bought is 3 capsules =500mg, I think I will just take 2 a day

I have been taking calcium citrate, D3 and K2 (which I learnt about form here) since the start of my PMR. I will add that because of the problems with my low back I have for years been unable to do any significant exercise, so would suggest that any of you who can, DO.

anyone know which calcium citrate is best is solaray a good one because I take 20mg of pantoprazole a day and it blocks calcium, and I have a hiatus hernia as well as severe osteoporosis, L5 t12.

Right now I am just sticking with doing my weight bearing exercises, taking calcium citrate and vitamin k2. My next scan is this August. Hoping there is an improvement. But if there is not, I still am hesitant about starting any medications.

I was taking Solgar Calcium Citrate with Vit D. Take care everone and keep as healthy as possible. Abwn

My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another 800mg via dairy products every day. So at 1700mg per day I would expect blood test results to be in the very good range.

with my t12 severe osteoporosis I think it's best to take a supplement which brand of calcium citrate is best.

On Fosamax and calcium citrate plus vitamin D3. Dexa score is -2.9. Should I be on something stronger?

Tried calcium carbonate and calcium citrate but the symptoms are not improving ; in fact, getting worse.

I only had 3 adcal-d3 tablets 1 a day but I got constipation, I have a hiatus hernia, which is the best calcium citrate I have read they are easier on your stomach, thanks.

The tablets are calcium carbonate. I looked up calcium citrate and it says there is only 21% absorption compared to 40% absorption of calcium carbonate if latter is taken with a meal which I do. So I don't know if that will make a difference?

I also take Vitamin D, selenium, folate, calcium, zinc, omega 3, magnesium complex (Bisglycinate, citrate and malate), a pro and prebiotic supplement as well as natural yoghurt and homemade granola to up fibre intake. Thanks for taking the time to read.
