Calcium

[Diamonds]

Hello  anybody , hope your all good  ...and Surviving the Gluten free life ....Anyway  ,  I'm not eating calcium....can I  take Calcium vitamins ? I need calcium in body .  Stella.

Yes, you can. Do some research in the kinds of calcium supplements that will make the calcium the easiest to absorb. And don't over do it be cause some calcium supplements will lower the acid level in your stomach too much and inhibit the digestion of your food.

Yes. You can check for gluten of course but thus far i haven't seen a calcium supplement to contain gluten.

@Diamonds,

I take calcium citrate-malate from Adaptogen Research.  It's a form of calcium that the body can utilize better.  I also take Vitamin K2, boron, and Vitamin D with my calcium because these all help with bone maintenance.  

Calcium in green leafy vegetables like kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens provide great sources of calcium that the body can assimilate better than the calcium in dairy products. 

And, eat more liver!  Liver has lots of the vitamins and trace minerals we need to stay healthy.

OK wait 

Calcium carbonate ...vitamin D3    . Cholecalciferol, Microcrystalline, Cellulose, Acai gum,  Maltodextrin, Magnesium Stearate..Anti Caking Agent , Silicon Dioxide, Croscarmellose Sodium,  Modified Maze Starch , Sucrose                                                           I just seen I've taken double vitamin  D  ...and  there probably things in here. As inot  check  gluten free  on this  Cacium .as my head is very forgetful .

[Diamonds]

I'm shocked .why the heck would it have D3 in .. I only ask for calcium ..but I not think this all the problem .as I took  calcium before once ..and it did bad pain ?

@Diamonds,

The modified maize starch sounds suspicious to me. 

Calcium should be taken with Vitamin D to help in bone formation, so that's not a problem.  Taking extra Vitamin D from your Vitamin D supplements and calcium supplements should not be a problem. 

I take Calcium Citrate.  It's easier on my digestive system.

There are some calcium supplements that contain propylene glycol as a laxative because calcium may cause gas and constipation.  Take small doses with meals.

The benefits of calcium outweigh the risks of low calcium.  A doctor can monitor your calcium levels and bone density before you get blocked arteries.
