I found nothing on JAMA, which to me is a red flag indicating that it has not undergone reliable studies. Also, this: https://www.drweil.com/vitamins-supplements-herbs/supplements-remedies/a-different-kind-of-calcium/. Look forward to any evidence anyone would like to provide. I am a calcium citrate fan, myself, together with daily greek yogurt, which combined have been keeping my blood levels normal.
(I've had bariatric surgery and significant weight loss, which reduced acid levels and pushed me into osteoporosis. My bones now read as borderline osteopenia/normal on a dexa scan, mostly due to calcium and regular prolia injections. The best answer, of course, is weight-bearing exercise, which I would do a lot more of if it weren't, you know, boring.)
It’s easy to Google the differences, but there is no benefit necessarily to your bones. The assertion that DEXA scans were better might depend on who you are coming to the test. You might need to be tested as calcium deficient first. If you haven’t been tested, and your doctor hasn’t told you to be on a calcium supplement that I recommend you consult with the doctor to determine this first the reason being that too much calcium can cause damage to your heart and other side effects. We always want an easy fix and we are always told as women we need calcium. As women we do need calcium, but our body has an amazing way of manufacturing what it needs when we provide it with good dietary habits, and it also has an amazing abilityto get things where they need to go. I’ve periodically been thrown on calcium by negligent doctors who just presumed I was a pre-or postmenopausal woman and the response was “more calcium!“ They prescribed the calcium before they took the blood test. Then they would call me and say “no calcium for you!“ I ended up with inherited heart disease, and they take pictures and look for calcium because too much of it is destructive when one has heart disease. It possibly would be better for you to look at hormones and the bone building medicine protocol. It is a very intricate,overwhelming, and complicated issue and it takes time to learn About the kinds of things which serves your particular body and bone building.
I’ve had a couple different hormone doctors and the endocrinologist I ended up with appeared “ meanish.” so I tried to be patient. I continue to do my research. I ended up thinking he had the right vantage point. His meanness was due to the complicated nature of losing bone as we age. It is a really personal journey and it takes dedication to want to figure it out. And there’s a certain amount of trust that goes into it because unless you wanna be the doctor yourself you’re going to have to figure out who to rely on.
