Do you need to take Calcium with Vitamin D?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 57/100. gohan2091 (378) 3 years ago

I take 1200IU of Vitamin D daily and was wondering if Vitamin D reduces or interferes with Calcium absorpion? I know Calcium is good for bones and I do have a little bit in my diet from milk and cereal but I am not asking if it's good to take a Calcium supplement, just if Vitamin D reduces Calcium.

Hi there,
I dont know why you take vitD every day.but,in fact,vitD will promote Ca absorption. and Ca plus vitD supplementation is good for bones and may reduce yhe risk of bone fracture.

I take Vitamin D everyday because I live in a part of the world that does not get a lot of Sun (at least in the colder months) and I spend most of my time indoors.

So Vitamin D actually increases absorption of Calcuim? That's good, thanks

Your body needs vitamin D to be able to absorb calcium, that's why you often see calcium supplements that have vitamin D added.

I just learned recently that Vitamin D is not the only Vitamin/supplement that Calcium needs to be taken with, but there are 3 or 4 others. If Calcium isn't taken with all of them, it is not as well absorbed and can actually have detrimental effects on our heart.

I haven't looked this up for myself, but thought I'd pass it on in case anyone is interested.

Magnesium and Calcium needs to be in the correction ratio or you will have a bias and the mineral ratio will get out of balance. What the ratio actually is between Magnesium and Calcium is another question... some say it's 1:1, some 2:1, some even 3 or 4:1.

I feel bad for the elderly in nursing homes. They don't move about much (bad because movement signals bone building) they don't get much sunlight, are omega 3 deficient, with very little magnesium in their diet and they are taking all kinds of harmful drugs. They are then told to take Calcium supplements for their bones which will actually make their bones weaker, not stronger (because of the above)
