calcium question

[Guest guest]

> At the November meeting Dr. K had on the over head something about

calcium and so much was going on that we never got to it. I saw

that caffeine does something to the calcium. I enjoy tea and

wondered if you can drink decaf tea or coffee?

Tea (even herbal) is high in oxulate which binds with calcium and

can contribute to kidney stones.

With anything...a little can be ok...a lot can lead to trouble. If

you enjoy one cup of tea or coffee and your not becoming deficient

in anything and your not having problems with kidney stones than

enjoy the cup...but you may want to re-think a pots worth..lol

I keep seeing references to take calcium as one of the supplements but it is not listed in the supplement list on the new member’s doc. Is calcium needed and if so how much do you take? I also take from 1200 to 2400 mg of magnesium a day, is this ok?Ann

Yes, I take it to keep regular. I am using magnesium glycinate.Ann From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of Kathleen BlakeSent: Monday, September 12, 2011 12:03 AMiodine Subject: Re: calcium question Hello Ann, No, calcium is not on the list of companion nutrients. It is recommended to take 400 mg of magnesium. Is there a reason you are taking so much magnesium?
