Calcium

If do strenuous dead weight lifting the adde stress to the bones results in increased calcium being deposited, less exercise, the reverse. The amount of calcium that’s in the blood is an indicator.

I think I read that a good reason to take magnesium is that it keeps calcium in the bones instead of in the blood. So should I be more regular with my magnesium intake for example.

., alterations in AMP, calcium, and reactive oxygen species) inferred by endurance exercise exert regulatory action on specific proteins involved in transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis." 

A doctor recommended I try AlgaeCal which has a calcium supplement and also a strontium suppl add-on . Has anyone here had good results by adding strontium to their bone density supplement regime?

The others I take are a PPI (which is by itself first thing), pred and bisoprolol after breakfast, calcium/vitD after morning coffee, and a second dose after my evening meal, along with my statin. I also take a dose of Gaviscon jut before bedtime.

Is anyone using Valium/diazepam or any other benzo to treat RLS? The Horizant that I’ve been using for the last year and a half isn’t working as well as it used to.

I am also prone to Vitamin D deficiency, and this too has shown up on the test (low calcium and high alkaline phosphatase) If anyone has had any experience of results like these so I have some idea what to expect, if anything at all, I would be very grateful! Thanks

Interesting, not much feed back on the calcium aspect... I'm off to find a rabbit hole 😉

My thumbs especially are huge with the build up of calcium. Just want something to help dissolve this calcium and give me pain-free fingers.

good morning. I’m curious for those who have had an MRI, did you have to take something for anxiety? My hep has suggested Valium but I prefer not to be loop legged.

My diet is very rich in calcium, I take vit D intermittently and am very active.

I am meant to be having a CT scan with a dye to check calcium.But... I am really really scared of the radiation levels. I have enough health problems without raising anymore. I was ok with having it but I have had to have a full abdomen scan today and a mammogram next week then the heart scan. The heart

It had a test listed for bone markers and if your calcium was being absorbed in your bones among many other blood work test. Can someone please repost that long list of test? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I do take calcium+vit d3 and cinacalcet for high PTH. What else is required to avoid weak bones and joints? Any advice?

Asked about supplementing calcium due to my low intake...

Calcium.         8.3  mg/dl  (8.6 - 10) I am a bit concerned about the folic acid result which is now very high. (I have no idea why the ranges are different between current and previous tests) could this be the B complex which contains 400ug (200%) folic acid?

I’ve read it makes sense to get calcium and vit D tested at the same time. Anyone know if this is routine or if I need to request or if it doesn’t matter? The reason for testing is cysts found on ultrasound. TIA 🦋💚🦋

I've just used the calcium calculator and I probably get around 200mg a week! 🙄 Can't really see a good way to raise my dietary intake... so many restrictions no dairy, nightshades, legumes, eggs, restricted meat, gluten and certain fruit and veg, histamine intolerance.... you know the story!

I've had P-Afib for a few years now well managed with a calcium blocker SR Verapamil. Due to an unrelated condition another specialist has recommended Lopermide 2mg 3×s per day up to 5xs per day.
