I have recently taken a calcium score. The result was ok. It was just under 100. My neighbor had one and it was ZERO! I had hoped for a better score. Many many years ago, I had a PCP who told me not to take more than 500 mg in calcium supplements, no mention of k2. As a woman, I was always told to take over 1000mg. For the past few years, I have been taking k2. I have a family history of heart disease and high cholesterol. I had a stress test, echo. All ok. My cardiologist prescribe Crestor 5 mg every other day, my cholesterol was never high, just borderline. He also told me to take CO Q10. I agree that this is one test everyone should have as early as the 30s, and I'm surprised insurance don't cover it. I have a l ways try to eat right, exercise... Although my back and legs don't always cooperate. Sleep is another matter. I listen to guided meditations, there are some really good ones on YouTube. My question is, can calcium score be reduced?

My understanding (just from consulting websites of reputable medical institutions when I googled that same question) is that calcium scores cannot be reduced.
