Why does every country have different dosage recommendations for calcium, as well as other vitamins?
In the u.s., the guideline is to get 1200 mg of calcium if over a certain age and to get 800 iu's of vitamin d. How can these numbers differ depending on where you live? A fact is a fact, no matter what country it's in.

Collagen for bone health
I researched it and found that it's helpful for bones, but no one talks about it like we talk about calcium. Should we be taking collagen?

Ct scan, metal wire in chest
Hi all, I'm due to have a CT cardiac angiogram and CT cardiac cor artery calcium scoring in a few weeks. This is probably a silly question but will the metal wire in my chest from my bypass sternectomy (as well as a lot of metal in my dental work) be a problem? Thanks in advance all for any advice/

Calcium supplements not good for you
I've been doing a lot of reading. When I first started out, I didn't even know bone regrows every ten years. I've read that calcium supplements cause calcification and that it's better to get calcium from diet. Then I learned that the body can only absorb 500 mg at a time and that vitamin d is needed

Hi everyone So I’ve just finished with the zoladex injections. They were useless for me and gave me heavy periods. I’m up for trying anything. Pills patches creams drops. Anything I’ll give a go. Menopause did not stop the pain. ☹️. Crazy really as I first went to see a doctor for heavy periods in

Calcium Calculator
Has anyone found a calcium calculator app or online source? I am trying to get my calcium from sources other than dairy and finding it very difficult to find calcium content given in standard portion sizes. It would be great if there’s an app that can track my calcium consumption for the day, but I haven

Underactive thyroid help please
Could someone give me their thoughts on these blood test results please. It appears my Vitamin D level is low, calcium level is a bit under and T3 is bang on the bottom end of being in range. The test was taken early in the morning with no food eaten or medication taken beforehand. I have been feeling

Channel blockers
Hi there! Please has anyone had experience of calcium channel blockers? I’ve struggled with beta blockers and it’s been suggested I try these instead . I have AF and find the Beta blockers reduce my BP to an unmanageable level..... when I’ve never had a BP problem before, resulting in extreme lightheadedness

Pins and needles and tight calves

Update on weaning off Prednisolone - Methotrexate- any good?
Hi, just an update. Some will have read my recent post where my rheumatologist seemed to have forgotten I was still on 10mg or Prednisolone and had been for too long. He gave me 8 weeks supply to come of it completely and I had terrible problems and a nasty flare up. He then told me to go back up to

Vitamin D for Afib?
The other day I came across a post on here that mentioned the Steven Carr website. (I'll post if asked but I assume many have seen it already) Essentially he claims to have cured his Afib with Vitamin D and minor diet changes. (i.e. Less calcium and eating cranberries etc) After I read this, I

Resting HR increase after ablation, but why?
So I had AF 2019-21, ablation 6 months ago, AF gone (touch wood) RHR was 60 now 70. I know this is expected but what causes it? I’ve been on Edoxaban blood thinners, rhythm control Flecainide and calcium channel blocker Verapamil since ablation - I was on none of these before ablation. My understanding
