Ladies need your help re Calcium supplements!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. sritrinity (200)   ranked 1,126 out of 38,421 in life4 months ago

Friends, its advisable to take calcium supplements as you get older to ward of osteopororsis. The only type of calcium supplemnt I can get here is Shellcall, which I am told is dangerous as it gives kidney stones.

Please tell me what type of calcium supplements you take, are they herbal or over the counter types?

I'm really interested to get some herbal ones, but perhaps it's not possible...anyway I'm sure my lady friends on mylot will have lots of valuable info to share.

I'm abit worried as I have a mild arthritis and really do need to take something to compensate for this.

Try to check if you could saw med name Caltrate plus. That's a supplement for calcium but I don't know if you could get one there. Caltrate is from Philippines. I don't know if that is available in your country.

I had a look today for Caltrate plus but couldn't find any.....I'm going to try and order them...thank you so much for the tip!

Hey sritrinity, i think you should opt for a natural way of getting rid of the problem then popping a pill. Ask you doctor how much of milk intake you should have a day. You can even have egg in difernt forms because it is rich in calcium. But the best is milk and diary products like curd, cheese, and low fat butter, etc., etc., that are RICH in calcium happy

Hi there Divkris! Egg is rich in calcium...are you sure? I thought it was rich in protein?

Yes I do try and take alot of milk,curd and cheese, but I can't digest too much and I don't feel I'm getting enough???

Hi sritrinity, I buy mine on line from a place you can google called healthspam, just because they are so ridiculously expensive here. They have added vitamin D and K which you need to help absorb the calcuium better if you don't spend a lot of time in direct sunlight. They taste like chalk and are pretty disgusting but necessary as I loathe milk.


myLot reputation of 91/100. sritrinity (200)   ranked 1,126 out of 38,421 in life  4 months ago

Ok I take it you meant healthspan....with an N and not and M....healthspan.co.uk.....right?

how long have you been taking these for?


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (4660)   ranked 3 out of 38,421 in life  4 months ago

Hi typo there. I've been taking 2 a day since April on my docs orders due to lack of milk in my diet. They were relatively cheap on there and so far still able to deliver to Greece with our government protesting as they do with medicines. They are an authentic company for vitamins, it's not all droppings from the cutting room floor like some online places.

You should have about 1200 mg a day of calcium. Most multi-vitamins have calcium in them. Dairy products are good sources as is about 15 minutes of sunlight a day which has the vitamin D which we need. There are numerous articles on calcium supplements on the medical web sites like WebMD . They give good explanations of what to look for and who should and should not take them. Also always check with your doctor about it since some people should not take them.

Hi Sri!
Pl. don't worry about kideny stones, if your Doctor has prescribed you Shellcal, you may continue to take it, as it is good artificial source of vitamin. I believe that milk and milk products such as cottage chess or curd are the best source of calcium and we you continue to take milk and milk prducts, I think, you will be able to reduce the deficiency of calcium.
All the best to you!

hi s ritrinity I have pretty severe arthritis aand I used to take'Caltriate plus but I find that Tums super strength
gives me all the calcium I need for each day 1200 grams'and
that is enough.also be sure that you get enought vitamin
d each day as D helps you to use your calcium better.
There are also drugstore brands of calcium supplements'that also have vitamin D with them and are cheaper. just be sure to get at'least 1200 of calcium whatever brand you use.the brand wont give you kidney stones unless you take more than 1200 units,it is how much calicum you take that could cause kidney stones. take more than the recommended daily amount and yes any calcium supplement would give 'you kidney stones.do not use more than what is suggested.

happy Hello my friend. Yes, it is a good idea to take calcium supplements. I take one called Citracal, since it is easier to digest than some. It is over the counter, and I am sure they would have it online. One reliable place to order online: http://www.drugstore.com

Milk,
, of course has calcium as do certain other foods, and exercise is important, too, to help ward of osteopororsis. thumbupthumbup

Hi sritrinity! I take a multi-vitamin supplement. And I also
need some extra calcium too! But, I won't take anything without
first speaking with my doctor and getting his advise as to
what he feels is the best and safest thing for me to take!
I have arthritis and some bone problems already! There are
a few things out on the market, but I don't want to take
anything until I check with my doctor. If you aren't sure
what to take I suggest that you also contact your doctor
just to check and see what kind would be best for you!

Calcium citrate is the best form to take calcium in, and as others have stated, vitamin D is needed to help absorb the calcium. Also, don't take calcium at the same time as an iron pill. One interferes with the absorption of the other; I can't remember which one right now.

For arthritis you may also consider glucosamine/chondroitin. I have arthritis in my knee and this has helped slow down the degeneration.

Oh, and make sure you exercise. Mild to moderate exercise really goes a long way towards strengthening bones and keeping arthritic joints flexible.
