Re: Supplements for the Prevention of Osteoporosis and Joint Pain

[Guest guest]

Anita, the recommendation for osteoporosis is calcium and Vitamin D. They come

in one pill (630 mg Calcium, 400 IUs Vitamin D). Take one twice a day. I get

it at Costco.

Any suggestions on the best supplements for the

prevention of osteoparosis. Also someone mentioned

using a powder instead of pills for joint pain. Any

recommendations?

Thanks,

Anita

Anita, the Costco house brand is " Kirkland " . I checked the label and it has 500

mg of calcium and 200 IUs of Vitamin D, so the other figures I gave you must be

one I took before. I went to the web site of the National Osteoporosis

Foundation (link below) and it meets their recommendations. Look for the USP

" seal of approval " because that means it's been tested and has what it says it

has. There are many different generic brands that should be fine for you.

Costco also has a liquid calcium supplement. It has vitamin D as

well and I forget what else. Each TBSP dose has 500 mg calcium; I take

one in the AM and one at bedtime. The body can only absorb up to 500 mg

calcium at a time.

My rheumatologist colleague recommends calcium citrate (Caltrate) with

vitamin D for calcium supplementation. I take the generic. One trick,

when you get your tablet, see if it dissolves quickly in water. If

not, then your body is probably not going to be able to utilize it

well.

He also states that most people are deficient in Vitamin D. This is

not only needed for the body to utilize calcium, but deficiencies can

cause fatigue, muscle aching and weakness. Your doctor can do a test

to check for Vitamin D levels.
