calcium requirements from Mayo clinic

 THANK  YOU.......

I for one appreciate the information.  I've had a problem with calcium and take two weekly supplements.  I got sick on the chewable and found these easier.

Millie

i dont understand....you only take a calcium two times a week ???? how are you getting in the amount you need ? just wondering.

Opppss  

 Jan, I'm glad you caught my inaccuracy.  I take Fosamax and prescription vit D each once a week to help calcium absorption.  No, I don't have a miracle cure for osteoporosis; wish I did.  I eat a calcium rich diet but try to keep on top of my needs.

Aloha Jan and thanks for this valuable info. I have been reevaluating all my supplements lately, and now will increase my calcium citrate, too. Vit. B-12 has been my biggest change. My nut. told me to only take it once a week...the sublingual....but I'm going to take it at least every other day. I have a suspicion that these changes might improve the way I've been feeling lately.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

have a blood level done of the B-12 and just knwo that we are suppose to be high ....I do B12 shots twice a month....any you dont use you pee out so it isnt dangerous.....

Thanks, Jan........I just know that what I'm taking is not enough...even though last blood work it showed high.

Thanks, Darlene, too....I LIKE seeing NUMBERS! I don't take nearly 2000 mgs. of calcium. I think I'll order that lemon citricale stuff.........use it for dessert!

This was great, Jan...thanks.

Aloha,

Karen

I do one 500 sublingual daily and inject every two weeks. and still fighting to keep it up

really ? wow... how much D3 do you take?
Oh you are talking about B-12 right? lol got my brain confused. i must need more vits.

10,000 IU daily of D3
2000 of UpCalD daily

 Darlene,

I have no idea if I have a problem with B12....  I get a shot once a month.  What are the symptoms if I'm low.  I get the shot then not too long after that ( within a couple weeks) I start to feel less energetic and I keep getting sleepy. 

After getting the shot is it normal for it to wear off before the next shot?  Does it stay in the system for a month or does it get peed out?
