@kjane322 - I’m am just sharing what this intensive osteo course from an Integrative Dr and researcher has shared with us . She actually feels like our overall calcium intake should be about 8O0 mg. So she recommends you figure out what your average daily intake of calcium is by the foods we eat and then supplement to make up the difference. You take it from there. But will say 600 mg at a time is probably not as good as compared to if you cut down the doses used at each time to around 390 or so. Your body only absorbs so much at a time. When it gets beyond this the absorbability decreases…. So the actual gains by taking more at one time is blunted.

What is confusing to me is that I can think I have consumed the best amount of protein and calcium from my food (and I much prefer getting what my bones need from what I am eating) but then there are all the other foods that can interfere with absorption of that calcium. So then I wonder how much of it is going to help my bones? Did the osteo course cover managing anti nutrients one might consume in a daily diet—nuts, greens, soy, etc.? I know food prep (boiling, soaking, sprouting, fermenting..) helps but then again one wonders.

Interesting…. I’ll ask about that next time I see my doctor. Yet, I’m guessing not all doctors are well informed about this. Thank you for this information. I’ll also look at information online. 😊
