Re: Liquid, chewable or powdered calcium

There is a really good powdered one that VitaLady.com sells. There are 500

mg in a teaspoon, so I just add it to my shakes. To me it is tastless.

I take a liquid calcium citrate with magnesium and D that I get from

www.puritanspride.com. If I'm running low and forgot to reorder, I go to a

local

health food store and get liquid Tropical Oasis. I use Solaray chewable calcium

citrate wafers when I travel. Hope that helps

TwinLab makes a pretty good chewable Calcium

Citrate with Magnesium and Vitamin D. I chew

two of these twice daily.

Kathy,

Any idea how much ELEMENTAL calcium you're getting in those two chews?

I take the twin labs chewable, along with the Citracal Plus. I must have

read a million times from you and others about the importance of " elemental "

duh! I just read the bottle of twinlabs chewables and can't find the word

elemental anywhere on it - it just says Calcium, from calcium citrate

tetrahydrate 1000mg (in 4 wafers.)

hmmm wonder if this is why I still suffer from night time cramping.

Do you know what it means if it doesn't say elemental on the label?

Thanks,

Joanie

Having been raised on a farm with a brother who is a vet, I have the

highest regard for the information that they have had to learn.

They (vets) have a greater understanding of nutrition than most

people docs. They understand things like pico (SP?) where an animal

will chew on dirt, wood, etc... just to get the micronutrients that

they need. They have been taught how to make an animal it's

healthiest so that it will grow to the largest and best possible so

the farmer can make better money from it. Maybe our people docs

would do a better job if we were being sold by the pound, LOL!

Many is the time that I have asked my brother for medical info

because a regular doc could not give me an explaination. Vets get

to study and remember not just one species, but many! Smart folks!

Well, this veers off-topic a little... While I do have very high regard

for most vets and the broad range of knowledge that they have, I

disagree that their nutritional education is excellent. Especially for

small-animal vets, the vast majority of their nutrition textbooks and

classes are written and funded by the pet food companies. Those

companies push a diet that is NOT even REMOTELY species-appropriate,

especially for cats, who are obligate carnivores. I will not ever listen

to a vet who wants to tell me what my dogs and cats should eat (the

Science Diet that he sells and makes a huge profit on), just like I'm

not going to listen to a nutritionist who says milk and calcium

carbonate are good for me. (back on-topic). :-)

And in the case of MY surgical group, if one DARES to mention that they just

might not be giving out the best aftercare info, there will be non-stop

flaming from all the gals who think these docs walk on water. Can't count how

many

times I tried to get my doc to stop recommending Tums to all the post-ops.

[Guest guest]

My surgeon told me to use Tums also. But even before I came on the lists my

PCP told me Calcium Citrate... citrate not carbonate. If I remember

correctly he said something about they should take the carbonate off the

market. He really liked the kind they used to make that dissolved in water

like alka seltzer. He doesn't know why they stopped making it. He wants all

of his female patients taking calcium citrate supplements and he said his

weight loss surgery patients need even more. I was surprised that my PCP

knew so much.
