Also, choose calcium citrate or calcium carbonate (if you have Gl issues when taking calcium carbonate, switch to calcium citrate). Take calcium carbonate only after a meal. For vitamin D, take 1,000 IU daily (or 1,200 for women older than sixty-five). Plus, it's smart to add 400 milligrams of magnesium a day to prevent the constipation that calcium causes. That's also important because magnesium deficiency may be more common than calcium deficiency in women with osteoporosis. Eat whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and nuts (almonds are rich in both magnesium and calcium).

Calcium carbonate has the advantage of having the highest percentage by weight in calcium (40% of calcium carbonate is calcium), so that the fewest number of pills need be taken. Calcium citrate is a reliable calcium supplement. It has been alleged that the citrate salt is better absorbed than the carbonate, particularly by individuals who have achlorhydria or are taking medications that reduce gastric acid secretion. However, it has been shown that when calcium carbonate is taken with food there is sufficient acidity in the food to permit normal calcium absorption [67].

Calcium carbonate is often used, because it is inexpensive and contains a larger amount of calcium per tablet, compared with other forms of calcium. For example, 1 gram of calcium carbonate provides about 400 mg of calcium, whereas 1 gram of calcium citrate provides only about 210 mg of calcium. However, if stomach-acid production is low (see chapter 2), a common problem among individuals with osteoporosis, the absorption of calcium carbonate is poor, while the absorption of calcium citrate is normal.

Supplements: calcium carbonate is a well-known heartburn reliever and the principal active ingredient in antacid tablets such as Turns®. It can provide immediate relief and may be particularly effective for treating sporadic heartburn. Take 250-500 mg of calcium carbonate three times a day with food. Chewable tablets provide the quickest relief. Avoid brands that include peppermint, which has been shown to relax the low esophageal sphincter, the muscle at the base of the esophagus that normally keeps food and digestive acids in the stomach.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 74:549-554, 2001] To be fair, there are distinctions between dairy calcium and the widely promoted calcium carbonate obtained from coral reefs off Okinawa. However, another study showed that the provision of 3,000 mg of supplemental calcium carbonate, providing 1,200 mg of elemental calcium, produced a moderate reduction in the occurrence of adenomas in the colon and rectum. [New England Journal Medicine 340: 101-07, 1999] So apparently any calcium supplement affords some protection from colon cancer.

For example, there's calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium lactate, and so on, and each of these forms contains a different amount of elemental, or "pure," calcium. calcium carbonate is 40 percent elemental calcium, calcium citrate is 21 percent, calcium lactate is 13 percent and calcium gluconate is a mere 9 percent. So, 1,000 mg calcium carbonate provides 400 mg elemental calcium, compared to the 90 mg offered by the same amount of calcium gluconate. Besides differences in the amount of elemental calcium, there are also differences in absorbability.

The H20 Concept 2000 uses electrical impulses to break calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate into calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, with the byproduct being C02. The C02 is dispelled at the faucet in minuscule amounts. calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are the soluble forms of these two minerals. In their soluble states these minerals cannot adhere to the inner surfaces of pipes, the water heater coil, or glass surfaces and faucets. The H20 Concept 2000 will significantly reduce any existing scale over time.

Prolotherapy: With this treatment, a solution of simple compounds (usually dextrose or calcium carbonate) is injected at the point of the injury. This triggers an inflammation response that increases the blood supply and delivers the nutrients necessary to promote the growth of new cells and repair damaged connective tissue. Consult a naturopathic practitioner who practices prolotherapy regarding treatment. Massage and hydrotherapy: Massage may be helpful in relieving pain and improving range of motion. Find a qualified massage therapist who has experience with tendonitis.

In most women, though, especially in perimenopausal women and postmenopausal women up to age 65, there is no known best form. calcium carbonate is absorbed well when taken with food. Calcium citrate can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, making it more flexible as to timing of your supplement regime. Calcium supplementation is extremely safe, and even in amounts of total calcium intake up to 1,500 mg per day there is no increase in the risk of a kidney stone.

A group of 479 women were given either 1,200 mg of calcium carbonate or a placebo for three menstrual cycles.60 During the luteal phase of the treatment cycle (from ovulation to menses), a significantly lower symptom complex score was observed in the calcium group for both the second and third months. By the third month, calcium effectively resulted in a 48 percent reduction in total symptom scores from baseline compared with a 30 percent reduction in the placebo group.

All calciums appear to be absorbed equally well when taken with food and in the presence of vitamin D, but calcium carbonate seems to create more gastrointestinal symptoms. When bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or gas is present, the citrate variety is frequently substituted. The recommended daily dosage of calcium between diet and supplements remains 1,000 mg in women under 50 and 1,200 to 1,500 mg in women over 50. Androgens have had renewed interest as a therapy for osteoporosis.

Medication: The medications hydrochlorothiazide, chorthalidone, amiloride, cellulose sodium phosphate, allopurinol, potassium citrate, or calcium carbonate, may be recommended for prevention. Again, the medication used depends on what type of stone is identified. 7s O m -< CO —I o TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE There are some clinical success stories in treating kidney stones with traditional Chinese medicine. A combination of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture works best if the stone is smaller then 1 cm in diameter and if the patient has normal kidney function.

Instead, take 250-500 mg of calcium carbonate three times a day with food. Chewable tablets provide the quickest relief. To restore friendly bacteria to the gut, take a probiotic product in the lactobacillus family that contains at least four billion active organisms twice daily with meals or 30 minutes after meals. Digestive enzymes help you digest food more effectively so that less irritation is caused. The enzymes include lipases that digest fat, proteases that digest proteins, and amylases that digest starch. Take 2 capsules or tablets of a full spectrum enzyme product with each meal.

If you don't mind taking more pills, then I would also recommend taking calcium citrate over calcium carbonate, or at least a combination. (Calcium citrate is much bulkier, and you have to take more pills to get adequate amounts of the elemental calcium.) Even though I can no longer argue for advantages in absorption in general of citrate over carbonate, fewer digestive side effects, the flexibility of taking the calcium with or without meals, and the possibility of enhanced absorption as you age make a good case for calcium citrate.

For Acute Pain Management • Calcium carbonate: 1,000-1,500 mg during pain • Valerian: 1 tsp tincture or 1-2 capsules every 3-4 hours • Crampbark and/or black haw: 2 capsules every 3-4 hours • Relaxation techniques • Consider combination products containing niacin, borage, vitamin E, calcium, crampbark, symptoms in regularly exercising over sedentary student nurses.

Calcium probably has only a small role in lowering cholesterol, but a recent randomized controlled trial suggests that calcium may have a role in decreasing cholesterol via its ability to improve the function of bile in the liver, thereby increasing cholesterol excretion,212 and another study on 223 menopausal women showed that calcium supplementation did decrease cholesterol slightly and with more significant increases in HDL.213 calcium carbonate 400 mg three times daily can reduce cholesterol and LDL cholesterol by about 4 percent and increase HDL by 4 percent.

However, if stomach-acid production is low (see chapter 2), a common problem among individuals with osteoporosis, the absorption of calcium carbonate is poor, while the absorption of calcium citrate is normal. A nutritionally oriented doctor can help you determine which type of calcium supplement might be best for you.
