Calcium timing

@vmcgrantham, ah, controversy. K2 ad D3 rely on the same enzymes to become micelles to be absorbable from the intestine. In small doses it is fine to take them together.
They work synergistically in the bloodstream.
I never take them together partly because I take K2 early with magnesium orotate so that both are in my bloodstream when I inject Forteo. (sorry about your experience with Forteo.) I want both in my bloodstream when the blood is flooded with calcium.
Though, calcium and magnesium shouldn't be taken together, they also are synergistic in the bloodstream.

@osteopatient2026 thank you I am learning a lot from you all.

@vmcgrantham
I learned a lot from gently. She so kindly has kept many of us informed…my husband also went to medical school, which helps, (the hospital wants him to come and be a P.A. he’s not keen on doing) although he is not a doctor…his sister is. We have learned a lot that unfortunately even the doctors are just not up on…including my rheumatologist.

I posted a video from dr. Lily Johnston that tells a bit about supplements…

@osteopatient2026 my doctor doesn’t even seem to want to look at anything else. She just wants to push certain kinds and that’s it even knowing that I have health issues that I cannot take them. I heard that I could go on. It’s an older medication. Called Miacalcin it is to maintain so do you take D3 and K2 how long before the calcium

@vmcgrantham
Also…the drug you mentioned is still in use in some places and has its use but newer drugs are usually first line…
Low Calcium Levels (Hypocalcemia). Calcitonin salmon can cause low calcium levels, which can be serious. Low calcium levels can cause a rare but dangerous heart rhythm problem called QT prolongation and torsade de pointes. Some people have a higher risk of this, including people who are older, have other people in their family who have had these conditions, have low potassium or magnesium, or who take some medicines for other heart rhythm problems. Stop using calcitonin salmon and call your health care provider if you have any of the following symptoms.

Can cause Cancer…
Calcitonin salmon may cause a new cancer to develop or cause a previously treated cancer to recur. Tell your health care provider about any new symptoms that you may get.

@osteopatient2026 the problem is is Porto is the only one that I’ve been able to handle even though it causes kidney stones, but after the Forteo, I can’t go on reclast due to kidney problems and John crisis also I have no thyroid and an autoimmune disorder. I can’t go on enivity cause that one causes blood clots, heart attacks and strokes and I had a prolia is even worse. And they’re saying I’m too old for HRT so where do I go from here? Yeah I know this is my question. I have health issues that I can’t take this. It’s it’s a no wind thing either I deal with kidney stones and kidney failure, which I had really bad kidney stones in that and almost had kidney fluid backed up from it. And several surgeries in two months because of that, I have no thyroid whatsoever I have an autoimmune that kicks up everything and fights everything in my system which I cannot stand that’s from the thyroid and I had a stroke and John across this no thank you I’ve had cancer back in 96 ovarian that is so I’m like doomed either way either I lose my bone loss or I can come down with all these other symptoms and get sick and die so what do you do you know like what do I do? I am so lost it’s disgusting. Also my doctor doesn’t say anything. She tells me not to take calcium pills at all. She just says take my D3’s and K2‘s but that doesn’t make sense either because I know for a fact that Forteo if it doesn’t have enough calcium to go in. It will pull out the calcium out of your bone so it is pulling it out instead of putting it in. It’s like you’re no wind. It’s a no win situation.
