Wow, news to me about stopping calcium supplements. Not sure I would do that, but I'll look into researching it.

Here's a great page of information from the National Osteoporosis Foundation about Calcium and Vitamin D
https://www.nof.org/patients/treatment/calciumvitamin-d/

According to the article, many Americans are not getting enough calcium in their diet. To help you increase your calcium intake through diet, they provide information on how much you need, a calcium calculator to see if you're getting enough and a list of calcium-rich foods. The article provides similar information about vitamin D.

Thank you @lionness..for your comment on my predicament..I haven't decided yet but I am on a bone healthy diet plus I am taking my supplements.. Also I am still healing from a backbone fracture and cannot do strengthening exercises yet!

I do appreciate your input! Thanks much!!

I believe that must of the population is getting adequate levels of calcium in the diet. But the calcium is not being efficiently placed in the bones but rather accumulates in the arteries muscles and brain . this is because most people are inadequate in their K2 levels that pulls calcium out of the soft tissue and places it into the bone and they’re also do you Not sufficient in vitamin D which acts as a hormone that regulates cells and makes calcium more available to the body. If you want strong bones you must get more UVB light from the sun. Sunscreens blocks that ability for the human body in the production of the D needed to transform dietary calcium into usability calcium for the body. Calcium supplements is the last thing we are short of. Calcium causes hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. Vitamin K2 reduces hardening of the arteries, lowers blood pressure, protects heart valves while placing calcium into the bones.

My mother who’s 85 has consumed calcium supplements her whole life. But because she hasn’t also consumed vitamin K2 she now has severe osteoporosis. The population groups on the earth that consume the most calcium also has the most osteoporosis in their old age. We need to change our thinking and increase vitamin D and K2 while monitoring the blood calcium levels with blood test, mine is 8.9 . Without the cofactors of vitamin D and K2 with magnesium zinc and vitamin A calcium will not make strong bones!

@jimma you are so right our bodies use all vitamin s and minerals to keep a healthy body you can't just take calcium alone

Absolutely stop calcium supplements! Vitamin D3,K2 (If you’re not on rat poison) magnesium, zinc and vitamin A. Your bones will replace themselves in 10 years.
