Question:

What is the best brand of calcium citrate? And a combination of calcium + magnesium (for osteoporosis)?

After research on the net and Yahoo questions, and on the basis of the valuable feedback I got from you, the best compromise of price, percentage of elemental calcium, and absorption seems to be calcium citrate (against orotate and ascorbate, too expensive). I read good things about amino acid chelates too.My bone density is terribly low (65% of my age class, I‘m a 40 y old male), and I‘m already having a small fracture on the plateau tibial that‘s lingering. So I‘m tempted by exceeding the recommended dosage (on which, by the way, my doctors don‘t seem to agree, ranging between 1 to 2 grams a day). Would increasing the dosage speed up the reconstruction and my overall density? What are the risks of taking too much calcium? Or would the extra calcium just be eliminated?At the moment I take 1g of calcium carbonate in the morning, 1g in the evening, a monthly vial of vitamin D, and Fosamax.

Answer:

There is a big difference between the two as calcium carbonate is regarded as inorganic as the carbonate radical behaves as an inorganic radical even though carbonate (CO3) actually has carbon in it. Calcium citrate is organic and organic supplements are absorbed much better than inorganic supplements. So calcium citrate (organic) is much better than calcium carbonate (inorganic). There is a difference in price as well as calcium carbonate is much cheaper than calcium citrate. To get the same benefits you need much greater doses of calcium carbonate than calcium citrate (calculated as actual calcium).
i would suggest a 125 for the foreseeable future - fun and sportsbikes give motorcyclists a bad rep
Hi end bikes, uber-cool and superstylish my vote goes for Suzuki indeed.
THE insert in your fosomax box should tell you the parameters of extra supplements you should take those dosages around your fosamax.you need some vit,EB12 B6.No dont increase your calcium intakeit could cause trouble with your heart.Calcium is stored and noit will not speed up bone growth to take more.You are young to be taking fosomaxyou also need to do some strengthening exercises to help those bones.see a different doctortry a sports dr and get some more detailed infohope this helps
Dolomite (?3 for 90 tabs).get it from a health store it is natural and easy on the stomach an excellent mix of calcium and magnesium in the correct ratio. Turmeric has had some favorable reports. Make sure your omega 3 and 6 are in the correct ratio. And keep your potassium up (2-4 grams) and drink fluid. As you know exercise and a proper diet is the key.
