Re: What is calcium wasting?

[Guest guest]

is, do you have enough vitamin D and K? Those two vitamins help get

calcium where it is supposed to be. Exercise also helps with calcium

regulation. Some dietary factors can come into play too, such as sodium

intake.

hi alexis normally when i see mineral or amino acid wasting with my son it

means he is not absorbing it, do you take it with vitamin d and magnesium ? as

hi alexis,

yes he is autistic although seems to be borderline now, as it seems to have

dissipated, but still left with learning difficulties. he wasted taurine for

over 2 years, now finally i think he is absorbing it along with other

supplements, with the help of dr kleminov, a bio neurologist, i am uncertain if

he treats adults. best thing is to come off for a hwile in my opinion and then

take a break and then slowly build up, what did the other forums say, as would

be interested to learn more,they must have some useful answers, i found as my

sons body got better so did his eating and tollerance of supplements, bone

broth and oils have helped enormously...as well as the amino acids

Isobel

Yes, calcium wasting would mean your body is not using it for some reason. That

may be because you take too much (in which case not really wasting but just

eliminating that which you don't need). Or it could mean that you lack

co-factors that make things happen. So, D and K are fairly common ones.

Loads of British people are deficient in D, and loads of people with poor

bacterial profiles are low in K.

I use the K drops by Thorne.

By sodium I meant that too much can interfere with calcium absorption. Sodium

is part of salt, but generally the salt we would get in places like movie

theatres isn't the kind we want. So, here at my house, we do use quite a bit

of salt, but it is sea salt, and we rarely eat anythign that is already

salted/pre-packaged.

is,

if stopping calcium helped you, i would stay off it for some while. However, I

would also consider starting those other supps I've mentioned, like D and K.

If you've been supplementing calcium and it hasn't been going where it is

supposed to, it does seem quite likely you are missing co-factors. This means

that even the calcium you eat in your normal diet may be causing problems.
