calcium

[Guest guest]

Hi Rosie

Has your doctor suggested any treatment for your low calcium?

Calcium is one of the most important minerals that helps in the growth and maintenance and reproduction of the human body. In addition to helping to maintain bone and dental health, calcium is also involved in a wide variety of other functions, including blood coagulation, the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heartbeat, stimulation of hormone secretion and the activation of enzyme reactions.

Many sufferers do not meet the current calcium recommendations for their age/gender group, and this puts them at risk for osteoporosis and it is essential that you start taking a calcium supplement if you are not taking one already. Low Calcium intake is also associated with high blood pressure.

The hormone Calcitonin inhibits bone loss and I don't know how much Armour you would have to take for this to take effect, but if you have low calcium you should also take a high dose of elemental calcium and also a fairly high dose of vitamin D. There must be a reason for your low calcium and your doctor should investigate this and not ignore it.

Nope. He just flagged it up then ignored it. It's one of the reasons

I'm losing confidence in him.

At least I don't have that. My blood pressure is low, as fits adrenal

fatigue.

Quite so. Thanks for your advice.

Hair is not necessarily a good measure for calcium.

Thank you ,

I think I meant to say Lead, too little sleep and researching too much get

to you after a while :-)

My daughter test from TEI came back low in Calcium. I am repeating it with

DD, but wanted to supplement some. I am using the ionic from New Beginning.

if anybody has a thought regarding this product for me, I'll be thankful.

Thanks again,

Leo

My son was calcium toxic, so no, I never supplemented him [beyond the

trials that told me he was toxic].

This, plus vitamin D, magnesium, and oddly, lysine, all helped my son

properly absorb calcium, once his toxicity was addressed.

it when I put it into his juice. You get alot for the $ too.

Try to get " Designs for Health " calcium malate supplements. I've actually seen

the assay for that one and the lead in it is miniscule compared to other calcium

supplements.

You know what?! I am going to give eggshell calcium a go anyway! That

way i can be 100% sure of what I am taking, and it is such a pure

source. Bee can i put the powder into gelatin capsules? Please still

list your calcium preferences as I may look into it later. Thanks!

I use Source Naturals. Look at the supplement chart in the files for

==>Hi Nather. Yes, it is a great idea to put the powder into gelatin

capsules. You won't need to soak the eggshells in lemon juice; instead

take them with vitamin C since they need the acid to be absorbed. Let

us know how many capsules are used for 1/2 teaspoon, which is one dose.

I use Natural Factors brand calcium citrated, which contains no

sweeteners.

Bee,

When you say to take the powder in gelatin capsules with vitamin C do

you mean swallow it down with C mixed in water or are you saying to

mix C with the powder before putting in capsules?

One more question: I experimented some time back with adding Vit.C

(with a tad of water) to the crushed eggshells and it didn't fizz up

the way it does with lemon. Does that mean it wasn't activated properly?

Thanks,

Anita

What a great idea, eggshells taken with C. I also did an experiment

with the ascorbic acid powder and water and whole eggs. It didn't

fizz, but it bubbled and ate away at the shell really quickly, so I

think it should work. I'm definitely going to try this! Joanna

Hi Joanna,

I didn't use the whole eggs with mine. Could you give me the recipe

and directions as to how you made yours? It sounds like it was

effective as it ate away at the shell.

Hello, Anita. I got the recipe from Bee's homemade supplement file

for calciums. But it was just an experiment because I realized I

couldn't tell how much ascorbic acid equals 1/2 a lemon. But I like

the eggshell in a capsule idea. Joanna

==>Do not mix vitamin C with the eggshells to put into the capsules.

Just take any form of vitamin C you wish, i.e. ascorbic acid in water

or tablets.

==>I'm do not know why vitamin C would not fizz, but lemon juice is

better.

Joanna,

After re-reading Bee's homemade recipe I think I'm understanding what

you did. I hadn't known about the recipe where you place whole eggs in

a jar of lemon juice, etc. So, what you did is use vitamin C in water

instead of lemon to soak whole eggs in the fridge?

Joanna,

Thanks for helping me get clear - I'm planning on giving this a try.
