Hi @callalloo, Yes. For 3 reasons,
1. The Ca & D did not appear to help much in the 2 years when I dropped
Fosamax.
2. I read articles talking some horrible info about Ca, like the supplement
could be made from some stone, and Ca can be linked to blood vessel
hardening, heart problem & kidney stone etc.
3. Without Ca and D over so many years, it appears not affecting my bone’s
performance that much.
Everyone’s body is unique. I do not suggest anyone to skip supplement. Only I prefer to rely on diet to provide the necessary nutrition. I don’t believe in “eat this, not that” either. Too confusing. I just eat everything without bias.

Interesting. All these years being told to take Calcium.... now my doctor said I have too much calcium in my system! Dang.

I'm also an inveterate researcher and thoroughly appreciate when another shares. I take an algea-sourced calcium, D3, K2, mag, potassium and trace mineral formula. I started this during the 6-year-period during which I lost no more bone density so am possibly a tad superstitious about stopping. (And my diet isn't consistent so hope to fill in any gaps.)
My PCP wanted me to take statins for high cholesterol. (I can't tolerate them, so nope. And make more of the large non-sticky molecules which is luck on my part.) Anyway, I gave a copy of echocardiogram and calcium score results to him. He was impressed but said that they were from years back and I needed something current. I pointed out that they were from 2 weeks earlier. That ended the statin argument and he kept copies for my file, lol.
