CONCERN ABOUT BOOSTING CALCIUM EFFECTIVENESS
Asking for myself as an older adult with osteoporosis and an old fracture at T12. Taking calcium carbonate and calcium citrate, vitamin D3, and ? which type of vitamin K to take: Vitamin K2 (MK4) 100 mcg OR Vitamin K2 (MK7) 120 mcg. I was planning to switch to MK4 as preferred for better arterial health but then I read that MK4 doesn't last long in the body. At bedtime, I take a 400 mg tablet of magnesium glycinate lysinate. (Magnesium oxide disagrees with me.) I had one Reclast infusion and will need one more each year for the next two years. I was taking both Kettle Bell and kickboxing classes but am limited to PT for now, due to thoracic fracture. Certain bending and twisting movements are restricted but I DO HOPE I can return to BOTH Kettle Bells and kickboxing. To be determined. Am I on the right track with supplements for osteoporosis? Everyday, a new costly supplement (calcium with algae or with variants of Vitamin E) appears in my feed. Most recently it was "Eve's goat milk powder” to best utilize calcium?!?!? I want to take what is useful, not whatever is necessarily supported by influencers or others who might profit from my purchases. Last note: I try to eat some prunes with my calcium tablets to provide boron. I was told that's an easy means to take in boron to help the calcium support bone health. Any thoughts or feedback are most welcome.
