Too Much Calcium Impairs Iodine Metabolism

[Guest guest]

, how much calcium do you take? I take up to 2,000 at times. Average maybe 1800 mg per day..it says not to take 2-3,000 mgs per day. It interferes with absorption of iodine. They say to focus more on magnesium than calcium. Does everyone here take the ATP co-factors along w/ the iodine or is that a recent discovery? I have started taking iodine today and the ATP cofactors. Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.

What is "ATP co-factors"? I haven't been tested for about a year, but up through last year, I ALWAYS showed "off the charts" in my calcium levels. This is with the hair analysis AND blood tests. I have not taken a calcium supplement in a long time. (And I can't/don't eat/drink dairy!) I was told, after my first bone density test, that it was "good" .. there was a little bit of deterioration (not sure I have my terminology correct here) .. but for my age it was fine. Since I have been on Dr. B's protocol (AND transdermal magnesium oil), I have had another bone scan (second one in five years). Results actually showed improvement! Bone density is an issue for me because my mom has some osteoporosis. So I do try to keep on eye on it. Best, GloHART518@... wrote: , how much calcium do you take? I take up to 2,000 at times.

I take 1800 mg calcium, 2000 D, and 800 mg magnesium per day. I also supplement the magnesium with mag. oil, so I get plenty of that. I do take the co factors and I find that it makes a difference in the way I feel when I take iodine.

i'm always curious about this....because I can't quite understand why

health-oriented folks get mammos and bone density tests and some

other tests...

but what would you do differently if the bone scan results showed a

problem? or is this just a matter of not minding paying the money

because you want to know? interested in comments from anyone who

regularly gets bone scan test....

Results actually showed improvement!

It is OPTIMOX's B2/B3 combo http://www.vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProdID=9145 Dr. B had me on it for a while. It seems to help most hashi's folks have more energy.

I believe it is high calcium in the hair that signifies a mineral transport issue due to mercury toxicity according to Andy Cutler.

The magnesium will help with your calcium absorption in the bones. I also recently read that strontium is a good bone mineral.

I can't remember what mine were. I think they were high too. I haven't taken Calcium as a supplement.

I have been taking it for a little while and like it a lot! I take it with my multi vitamin. I thought it was time release though, and the bottle I just bought from VRP is not time release.

ATP Cofactors has only been available to the public for about 6 mos. I have been on it for over a year because I am in Dr. Abraham's study of cancer and iodine. It is nothing more than a specific combination of B2 & B3 vitamins. It enhances ATP function in the cell thus increasing metabolism. Many feel an immediate increase in energy when starting to take it. I did not.
