Yes…Checking Calcium and D are not directly connected to bone density. I understand that. Just good to monitor that one is not overshooting or under the ranges being looked at.
After-all the osteoclasts and “blasts” take and use it to build.
“Some” of the latest studies don’t show a correlation of calcium intake and an increase in coronary calcification…
So much conflicting information out there.
Love all your valuable information…
I was told it’s okay to inject in my flank…now I’m thinking that, like you said, there might be better absorption in the abdomen.

@osteopatient2026 if you have a choice, do it in the abdominal area. You don’t want to waste a whole year (like I feel I did.). As far as the coronary calcification, I’m not sure where your information came from, but that’s absolutely incorrect. The calcium is well documented and studied to be damaging to arteries and add to heart disease, plaque deposits, and problems with kidneys. Talk to any doctor or do more research online. When the doctor assesses your cardiac health, they do a calcium test to assess the condition of your heart and arteries. It is a gold standard. You do not have to worry if you don’t have heart disease or coronary artery disease in your family history. You do not have to worry if you are not taking calcium supplements. Please do not take calcium supplements until you’ve had a blood test and you know your calcium levels.
Avoid the confusion by knowing which resources to use.
1) A TRUSTED doctor. Doctors can be wrong even the trusted one so always speak up if you’re intuition tells you to.
2) trusted resources like the NIH the national Institute of health. It is a great place to do research and see studies that have been peer reviewed for verification.
3) AI is great to get a bunch of information that’s integrated all at once, however, look where AI is getting their information. AI always lists it sources. AI is getting better and better all the time but it’s absolutely fallible so again take it with a grain of salt, but use it as a springboard.
I am 69 years old and it is really hard for me to remember/routine all the things I learn and investigate at this age. It helps to use this website and enlist the help of others to get information. Trust but verify is more than a political slogan.
I do a lot of research and go armed to my appointments. Some of my doctors can be difficult to work with. They don’t like their authority challenged. That’s too bad. I have found that in today’s medical climate doctors have less time for us. They don’t look beyond the symptoms and things that show up in a 20 minute visit. That means you may need to email them and after the visit and do more research and then follow up with them. Sometimes they they just don’t have the time and it’s incumbent upon ourselves to do the work unfortunately. Fortunately, there are groups like this where people will help!
