Rik,

Lemon egg would be the best, or cal mag.... possibly some MSM wouldn't hurt either.

Hi,

 

There are three effective and excellent sources of calcium I highly

recommend.

 

Isotonix Calcium (power form)

Glucosatrin (tablet form)

Active Calcium (tablet form)

Procosa II (tablet form )

** I heard from friends that now you probably can also get this

product through walmark related chain store.

 

Personally I had done many tests on different brand of calcium on

the market. Above three are the one that I found can be effective

absorb by our body. And, currently I'm taking Isotonix Calcium.

 

Besides the Calcium, you might need to consider " Glucosatrin " due to

your join problem. You probaby need to ask your family doctor give

you a bone density test and join exam. My mom has join problem a

year back and after the exam found it's due to age deterioation.

The doctor can't do anything about it; hence, she starts

taking " Glucosatrin " and hope to slow down the process. You also

try the " Move-Free " from Costco.

 

Hope above info is helpful to you. Good luck!

Following is some info about bone from the " Comparative Guide to

Nutritional Supplements "

 

While we tend to think of our skeleton as inert, like the brick

walls of a house, our bones are in constant dynamic balance with our

bodies. At any given moment, in millions of sites within our

skeletal structure, small segments of old bone are dissolved an new

bone matrix is laid down to replace it -- a process known as bone

remodelling. Through bone remodelling, we replace the mineral

content of our bones every few years. This means that Mother Nature

has gifted us the opportunity to create better bones for our

bodies. It also menas that, if the dynamics of mineral balance go

awry, we can rapidly deplete our calcium stores and our bones will

become progressively weaker -- just like acid rain on cement.

 

For that reason, proactive programs to maximize bone health are

critical to prevention. Most people are aware of the need for lots

of calcium; however, many other minerals, and the balance between

them, are also important. Magnesium increase calcium retention in

the bone. Phosphorus, vitamin D, vitamin K, manganese, boron, zinc

and copper also enhance calcium deposition and build strong bones.

Vitamin C stimulates formation of the collagen matrix in bone

tissue, and Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid reduce the loss of bone

minerals by modulating blood homocysteine levels.

 

Because bone growth occurs during our youth, the peak bone mass

attained early in life becomes the single most important determinant

of lifelong skeletal health. After 30 to 35 years of age, bone

destruction begins to overtake bone growth, with a net loss of about

0.3 percent per year. For women, this annual loss accelerates up to

ten-fold at menopause, continuing for a period of about 5 to 7

years.

 

It's important to note that osteoporosis is not always the result of

excessive bone loss. The truth is, an individual who does not reach

optimal bone mass during childhood and adolescence may develop

osteoporosis without the occurrence of accelerated calcim loss.

That is why -- particularly for young girls -- developing the

highest bone mass possible during adolescence will provide the best

natural means fo prevention against osteoporosis later in life.

Kathy I think calcium needs a catalyst to be able to be used. Meaning it has to be used in conjunction with something else like ascorbic acid or something very similar. Else the body simply dumps it and with it good usable calcium.

Dark green veggies are great, but some people dont do dairy. Some

other good sources of Calcium are:

 

Raw Almonds or cashews or Almond Milk and Cashew Milk (sprouted of

The cows, and other grazing animals, get it from the grasses and

grains they eat. Broccoli is a rich source of calcium. If you want

to try a calcium supplement www.bulkfoods.com has calcium citrate in

powder form--18 oz for less than $7. You can then make your picky

eater a fruit shake and put some of this calcium powder in it. Or add

some to your soy burgers or whatever else you give him. There are

lots of ways to be sneaky about getting the " good stuff " into picky

Calcium

Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body, has several

important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in

the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure The

remaining 1% is found throughout the body in blood, muscle, and the

fluid between cells. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood

vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and

enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system A constant

level of calcium is maintained in body fluid and tissues so that these

vital body processes function efficiently.

 

Bone undergoes continuous remodeling, with constant resorption

(breakdown of bone) and deposition of calcium into newly deposited

bone (bone formation) The balance between bone resorption and

deposition changes as people age. During childhood there is a higher

amount of bone formation and less breakdown. In early and middle

adulthood, these processes are relatively equal. In aging adults,

particularly among postmenopausal women, bone breakdown exceeds its

formation, resulting in bone loss, which increases the risk for

osteoporosis (a disorder characterized by porous, weak bones)

 

 

What is the recommended intake for calcium?

Recommendations for calcium are provided in the Dietary Reference

Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the

National Academy of Sciences. Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is the

general term for a set of reference values used for planning and

assessing nutrient intakes of healthy people. Three important types of

reference values included in the DRIs are Recommended Dietary

Allowances (RDA), Adequate Intakes (AI),.

 

For calcium, the recommended intake is listed as an Adequate Intake

(AI), which is a recommended average intake level based on observed or

experimentally determined levels. Table 1 contains the current

recommendations for calcium for infants, children and adults.

 

 

Table 1: Recommended Adequate Intake by the IOM for Calcium

Male and Female Age Calcium (mg/day) Pregnancy & Lactation

0 to 6 months 210 N/A

7 to 12 months 270 N/A

1 to 3 years 500 N/A

4 to 8 years 800 N/A

9 to 13 years 1300 N/A

14 to 18 years 1300 1300

19 to 50 years 1000 1000

51+ years 1200 N/A

 

*mg=milligrams

According to the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes of Individuals

(CSFII 1994-96), the following percentage of Americans are not meeting

their recommended intake for calcium [44% boys and 58% girls ages 6-11

64% boys and 87% girls ages 12-19 55% men and 78% of women ages 20+

 

 

What foods provide calcium?In the United States (U.S.), milk, yogurt

and cheese are the major contributors of calcium in the typical diet

The following are strategies and tips to help you meet your calcium

needs each day: Use low fat or fat free milk instead of water in

recipes such as pancakes, mashed potatoes, pudding and instant, hot

breakfast cereals. Blend a fruit smoothie made with low fat or fat

free yogurt for a great breakfast. Sprinkle grated low fat or fat free

cheese on salad, soup or pasta. Choose low fat or fat free milk

instead of carbonated soft drinks. Serve raw fruits and vegetables

with a low fat or fat free yogurt based dip. Create a vegetable

stir-fry and toss in diced calcium-set tofu. Enjoy a parfait with

fruit and low fat or fat free yogurt. Complement your diet with

calcium-fortified foods such as certain cereals, orange juice and soy

beverages.

 

 

What affects calcium absorption and excretion?

Calcium absorption refers to the amount of calcium that is absorbed

from the digestive tract into our body's circulation. Calcium

absorption can be affected by the calcium status of the body, vitamin

D status, age, pregnancy and plant substances in the diet. The amount

of calcium consumed at one time such as in a meal can also affect

absorption. For example, the efficiency of calcium absorption

decreases as the amount of calcium consumed at a meal increases.

Age:

Net calcium absorption can be as high as 60% in infants and young

children, when the body needs calcium to build strong bones Absorption

slowly decreases to 15-20% in adulthood and even more as one ages

Because calcium absorption declines with age, recommendations for

dietary intake of calcium are higher for adults ages 51 and over.

Vitamin D:

Vitamin D helps improve calcium absorption. Your body can obtain

vitamin D from food and it can also make vitamin D when your skin is

exposed to sunlight. Thus, adequate vitamin D intake from food and sun

exposure is essential to bone health. The Office of Dietary

Supplement's vitamin D fact sheet provides more information:

 

Calcium excretion refers to the amount of calcium eliminated from the

body in urine, feces and sweat. Calcium excretion can be affected by

many factors including dietary sodium, protein, caffeine and potassium.

Sodium and protein:

Typically, dietary sodium and protein increase calcium excretion as

the amount of their intake is increased However, if a high protein,

high sodium food also contains calcium, this may help counteract the

loss of calcium.

Potassium:

Increasing dietary potassium intake (such as from 7-8 servings of

fruits and vegetables per day) in the presence of a high sodium diet

(>5100 mg/day, which is more than twice the Tolerable Upper Intake

Level of 2300 mg for sodium per day) may help decrease calcium

excretion particularly in postmenopausal women

 

In summary, a variety of factors that may cause a decrease in calcium

absorption and/or increase in calcium excretion may negatively affect

bone health.

 

 

Calcium's role in health and disease prevention

.. It is also important to engage in weight-bearing exercise to

maximize bone strength and bone density (amount of bone tissue in a

certain volume of bone) to help prevent osteoporosis later in life.

Weight bearing exercise is the type of exercise that causes your bones

and muscles to work against gravity while they bear your weight.

Resistance exercises such as weight training are also important

because they help to improve muscle mass and bone strength.

 

Osteoporosis is a disorder characterized by porous, fragile bones. It

is a serious public health problem for more than 10 million Americans,

80% of whom are women. Another 34 million Americans have osteopenia,

or low bone mass, which precedes osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a

concern because of its association with fractures of the hip,

vertebrae, wrist, pelvis, ribs, and other bones [Each year, Americans

suffer from 1.5 million fractures because of osteoporosis [

 

Osteoporosis and osteopenia can result from dietary factors such as

chronically low calcium intake low vitamin D intake poor calcium

absorption excess calcium excretion

 

When calcium intake is low or calcium is poorly absorbed, bone

breakdown occurs because the body must use the calcium stored in bones

to maintain normal biological functions such as nerve and muscle

function. Bone loss also occurs as a part of the aging process. A

prime example is the loss of bone mass observed in post-menopausal

women because of decreased amounts of the hormone estrogen.

Researchers have identified many factors that increase the risk for

developing osteoporosis. These factors include being female, thin,

inactive, of advanced age, cigarette smoking, excessive intake of

alcohol, and having a family history of osteoporosis

 

Calcium and kidney stones

recent studies show that high dietary calcium intakes actually

decrease the risk for kidney stones Other factors such as high oxalate

intake and reduced fluid consumption appear to be more of a risk

factor in the formation of kidney stones than calcium in most

individuals . According to adele davis book ,the last hing one should

do is reduce calcium /magnesium intake when one has arthritic spurs

 

 

Who may need extra calcium to prevent a deficiency?

Post-Menopausal Women

Menopause often leads to increases in bone loss with the most rapid

rates of bone loss occurring during the first five years after

menopause]. Drops in estrogen production after menopause result in

increased bone resorption, and decreased calcium absorption Annual

decreases in bone mass of 3-5% per year are often seen during the

years immediately following menopause, with decreases less than 1% per

year seen after age 65]. Two studies are in agreement that increased

calcium intakes during menopause will not completely offset menopause

bone loss

 

 

Vegetarians

Calcium intakes between lacto-ovo-vegetarians (those who consume eggs

and dairy products) and non-vegetarians have been shown to be similar

[Calcium absorption may be reduced in vegetarians because they eat

more plant foods containing oxalic and phytic acids, compounds which

interfere with calcium absorption However, vegetarian diets that

contain less protein may reduce calcium excretion [Yet, vegans may be

at increased risk for inadequate intake of calcium because of their

lack of consumption of dairy products [Therefore, it is important for

vegans to include adequate amounts of non-dairy sources of calcium in

their daily diet (see Table 2) or consider taking a calcium supplement

to meet their recommended calcium intake. Furthermore, while early

studies found vegetarian diets to be beneficial for bone health, more

recent studies have found no benefits or even the opposite effect

 

 

Is there a health risk of too much calcium?

The Tolerable Upper Limit (UL) is the highest level of daily intake of

calcium from food, water and supplements that is likely to pose no

risks of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the

general population [The UL for children and adults ages 1 year and

older (including pregnant and lactating women) is 2500 mg/day. It was

not possible to establish a UL for infants under the age of 1 year.

 

Another concern with high calcium intakes is the potential for

calcium to interfere with the absorption of other minerals, iron,

zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus .

 

 

Calcium and Medication Interactions

Calcium supplements have the potential to interact with several

prescription and over the counter medications. Further information

about these interactions is described below. Some examples of

medications that may interact with calcium include:

& #61623; digoxin

& #61623; fluroquinolones

& #61623; levothyroxine

& #61623; antibiotics in tetracycline family

& #61623; tiludronate disodium

& #61623; anticonvulsants such as phenytoin

& #61623; thiazide, type of diuretic

& #61623; glucocorticoids

& #61623; mineral oil or stimulant laxatives

& #61623; aluminum or magnesium containing antacids

Calcium supplements may decrease levels of the drug digoxin, a

medication given to heart patients The interaction between calcium and

vitamin D supplements and digoxin may also increase the risk of

hypercalcemia. Calcium supplements also interact with fluoroquinolones

(a class of antibiotics including ciprofloxacin), levothyroxine

(thyroid hormone) used to treat thyroid deficiency, antibiotics in the

tetracycline family, tiludronate disodium (a drug used to treat

Paget's disease), and phenytoin (an anti-convulsant drug). In all of

these cases, calcium supplements decrease the absorption of these

drugs when the two are taken at the same time

 

 

 

Supplemental sources of calcium

The two main forms of calcium found in supplements are carbonate and

citrate. Calcium carbonate is the most common because it is

inexpensive and convenient. The absorption of calcium citrate is

similar to calcium carbonate. For instance, a calcium carbonate

supplement contains 40% calcium while a calcium citrate supplement

only contains 21% calcium. However, you have to take more pills of

calcium citrate to get the same amount of calcium as you would get

from a calcium carbonate pill since citrate is a larger molecule than

carbonate. One advantage of calcium citrate over calcium carbonate is

better absorption in those individuals who have decreased stomach

acid. Calcium citrate malate is a form of calcium used in the

fortification of certain juices and is also well absorbed [Other forms

of calcium in supplements or fortified foods include calcium

gluconate, lactate, and phosphate.

 

The amount of calcium your body obtains from various supplements

depends on the amount of elemental calcium in the tablet. The amount

of elemental calcium is the amount of calcium that actually is in the

supplement. Calcium absorption also depends on the total amount of

calcium consumed at one time and whether the calcium is taken with

food or on an empty stomach. Absorption from supplements is best in

doses 500 mg or less because the percent of calcium absorbed decreases

as the amount of calcium in the supplement increases Therefore,

someone taking 1000 mg of calcium in a supplement should take 500 mg

twice a day instead of 1000 mg calcium at one time.

 

Some common complaints of calcium supplement use are gas, bloating and

constipation. If you have such symptoms, you may want to spread the

calcium dose out throughout the day, change supplement brands, take

the supplement with meals and/or check with your pharmacist or health

care provider.

More important than calcium is magnesium. Most people consume plenty

of calcium, yet we still have on e of the highest rates of

osteoporosis in the world.

The reason for this is a magnesium deficiency. You cannot absorb and

use the calcium without adequate levels of magnesium (and potassium).

Also too much calcium without sufficient magnesium causes many

diseases and chronic health conditions.

There is an ionic magnesium sodium bicarbonate drink we can make to help flush

the dumped calcium from our joints and blood causing arthritis.If used properly

it will not upset the potassium.

 

Ionic minerals in their complete form are necessary, and so are all the types of

calcium with the K2 so our bodies can actually assimilate the calcium " s " instead

of dumping it.
