I am starting to have issues with bone thinning. I am 70 yrs old and 10 yrs out from surgery. It have been told to take 1500 mg of calcium a day. I am not sure our bodies can even absorb that much.

Is anyone else out there dealing with this?

Hi,

Previously my OHIP application was declined. I have an appointment with my family doctor to discuss getting another referral sent to a plastic surgeon. So my question is, what can I make to include that will help my application go through AND which surgeons are the best that work with OHIP? TIA ?

I take:

Calcium w. D3 - 2 tabs, twice a day, away from caffeine

B12 - sublingual 1 tab every other day

Iron supplement

Zinc Citrate

Magnesium Citrate - as needed - I get bad leg cramps at night

Multi Vitamin - 1 tab every morning

Can you reach out to Humber River to find out what labs your doctor should be ordering - the list is pretty extensive. They should be done annually.

Great choice. I'm using some vitamins, but I prefer to get them from food. When I was young, I ate a lot of fi****'s an A, D, E vitamins, But now it's so hard to find a good one. Our oceans and rivers are hurt because of climate change and oil spills. I studied at the ecology faculty and had read many books and additional info on this theme. And I hope people will understand the necessity of protecting our hydrosphere.

Calcium Citrate 500mg x 3 per day

MVI x 2 per day

B12 every 2 days ( depends on your level)

iron ( depends on level)

all others depend on your levels

ask your GP to check your levels - iron, folate, ferritin, calcium, magnesium, vit A etc...
