RE: [OSSG-vitamins-minerals] calcium

[Guest guest]

You know Sue, I read this in a medical journal article several months

ago and have been taking a calcium at bedtime, then one when I wake up

to potty, then another when my pups go out at 6:30 AM then the last one

around 8:30 AM BUT I have been wondering - I was thinking we were

supposed to eat with them to help absorption - now I am confused!! (I

know, that is nothing new!!) I will do a lot of things to remain healthy

but I am not fixing meals in the middle of the night !

[OSSG-vitamins-minerals] calcium

just read a short article about calcium and thought I'd share the info:

take calcium at bedtime. thats the time to take your final daily dose of

calcium-magnesium supplement. calcium has a calming effect; magnesium

helps the body absorb it and also aids muscles in relaxing. insomnia

could be an indication of calcium or magnesium deficiency.

Amber, I don't know if anyone's answered this yet, but I'll give it a go.

it's the calcium carbonate that you're supposed to eat with. Carbonate

requires stomach acid to work, that's why the food, and that's why we don't

absorb it well, very little stomach acid. Citrate works just fine on its

own, no acid needed, that's why it's good for everyone, better absorbed.
