Thank you for this! Now can u do a video on how to get enough as a vegan?
I love these podcasts!
U know what's good for breakfast, veggies & fish ! Yum , 9: 35 am 🍊🧄🥔🥑🥦 & coffee ☕️🍯🍶🐟
Calcium supplementation looks to be unsafe. We need to get it from our diet how it was intended originally.
Agree. I stopped calcium supplements more than ten years ago when I heard it increased cardiac issues.
what about low dose calcium and k2 to mitigate some of the bad effects of calcium.
Good info.. didn't say how to treat it !!
With your food intake of calcium.
I was prescribed 1000mg/day, in two doses, for Osteopenia when I was in my early 60s. By the time I was 69 my aortic valve had to be replaced due to calcification. Fortunately, I had been plant-based since age 57 and I did qualify for a TAVR replacement rather than a open heart replacement! Stay away from calcium supplements!
Oh ouch! Mention of the WHI that claimed that HRT was dangerous has been debunked, and it has also left a generation of women who came off of HRT or were denied it open to increased long term health conditions. Dr Gregor, you reach so many, and I hope you will be able to dig into the better understood benefits of HRT in menopause , now referred to as MHT. A good starting point for those interested would be listening to chef AJ’s interviews with Dr Rachel Rubin and Dr Kelly Casperson.
I’m one of those denied HRT in my early 50s….oooo could kill you!
Now at 70 with severe osteoporosis (compression fx), I feel like I was slow killed anyway.
I’ll be asking my geriatrician if I can start now. Not optimistic.
Oh, and my vertebral fx was excruciating and debilitating for nearly 3 yrs!! The depression was just as bad.
@@kerrybyers257 I’m sorry that this happened for you. I hope you will check out Dr Kelly Casperson and then you will get down the rabbit hole of those speaking about hormones--there is chatter about there not being a hard and fast stop to the prospect of MHT beyond the 10 years after menopause; some in the know will look at this on an individual basis. Alloy health and Midi will take your health history and prescribe if they feel safe and appropriate. But if it is appropriate for you, hopefully your own practitioner will be open minded to it. You may need to go in armed with data though!
Thank you Dr. Greger for the information. I too ,like your other viewer, would be grateful if you can talk about HRT and osteoporosis and possibly the minimum possible dose of oestrogen in form of patch or cream that would be effective 🙏🏻 I truly appreciate all your great work 🙏🏻
@@kerrybyers257 hrt is meant for the few years right after menopause. You would not be expected to take it at 70. Your body should have transitioned to the post menopause by now.
Regarding acid reflux and indigestion…my mother has been on PPIs for decades and hasn’t been able to stop. I started getting acid reflux and indigestion and went another route, Betaine HCL with Pepsin supplements. At first I didn’t think it would work for me because it didn’t work. But I realized I was taking too much. Most recommendations mention multiple pills. The recommendation is to see how much burn you feel in your stomach. I felt burn in my back between my shoulder blades. So I took the supplement and broke it down into smaller doses in fresh capsules I packed myself. I break one pill into maybe 4 doses, some bigger, and some smaller. I now estimate the amount of protein in a meal and how big the meal and choose the amount of supplement.
I think I’ll avoid all foods with high calcium like dairy
We do need adequate calcium and the studies show that calcium from supplements could be harmful but not food sources. The advice is to get calcium through the diet and dairy is a good source of dietary calcium. Other calcium rich foods are also good for you.
Diet will help, but you failed to mention what particular foods will benefit those who suffer with osteoporosis.
5prunes daily along with handful almonds is his recommendation
Start slowly on the prunes and work up …..
@@jillcummings8810 Thank you! 😊
@@jillcummings8810 Any substitutes for prunes? I have Histamine Intolerance and dried fruit (high in histamine) causes unbearable symptoms like insomnia.
Please explain link between biotin deficiency and b vitamin toxicity and risks of autism low melatonin levels and need for melatonin supplements as well as b complex supplements risks long term and deficiencies in b vitamins also complications for vascular disease
I hope Sally Field is feeling better now!
Is taking a calcium supplement different than getting calcium from a supplemented food? For example, I drink Calcium fortified soy milk. Is that still considered supplemental calcium or is that getting it from a food source? Also, does the type of calcium supplement matter? What about calcium carbonate verses calcium citrate verses Calcium microcrystalline hydroxyapatite? Has that been studied? And lastly, what about the amount of Calcium supplemented throughout the day? Could breaking it up into 3 smaller doses a day make a difference?
Its the same if fortified. Use magnesium and k2 to prevent calcification. I use red marine algae for calcium because its to a real food source
Dr Greger Please help 😢
Yesterday I got my Dexa scan results I’m under the -2.5 spine and neck area so am classified osteoarthritis. I’m a 70 yr old distance runner of 46 yrs. 16 year Vegan, many of which is raw foods. Lots of beans greens and recently added tofu and soy mylk. I’ve had a 1hour 15 minute weight workout program for 6 yrs now and am 5’3” 98 lbs Same height since I was 18. Now I’m presented with the drugs you mentioned! I don’t know what to do! They want me to go back for testing every 2 yrs!
I hope you see my post ❤
DEXA does not classify osteoarthritis (OA). Do you mean osteoporosis or osteopenia? These are different.
We need HRT! Plz look at the latest research!!!!!! Not having it reduces all cause mortality!
This is fascinating when I thought I was pregnant I stated taking a prenatal by pure encapsulations and due to sleep loss for years living next to a hotel I had chest pain paralysis and it started as I was already years of low immune functioning from years of sleep loss and the calcium in the prenatal tipped me over the edge can you explain the link between low immune system and stroke from sleep tortured people
Unrelated, but Dr Greger what are your thoughts onTaurine supplementation?
I wonder too
Dr Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick and Physionics have interesting reviews of research related to this
What is the Taurine for?
@@littlevoice_11 I started to read Peter attias book, Outlive, I’m excited to finish it.
I was prescribed Tymlos.Besides all the side effects, the cost to me would be $1,500 a month! That is more than I live on! That is a crime!
Even with the manufacturer reimbursement program?
QUESTION: Dr Greger, what do you think about Xylitol for preventing or helping with Osteoporosis (studies show it increases bone volume, increases calcium absorption, and bone mineral content)? Xylitol also boosts dental health, reduces ear infections, and increases collagen. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, and can cause digestive issues but it’s said that your body can adapt to it over time.
Xylitol is bad, my system went crazy after chewing only a few gums, so bad it took me to the doctor and it took weeks to get rid of it. Stay away from it and other sugar alcohols.

5 years unprocessed strictly plant based vegan Cook everything that is on green lights safety checklist started taking biotin and b complex for nerve damage prevention as b vitamins are critical if pregnant like folate and biotin for hair loss prevention
For women estrogen replacement is the only thing that really helps!
However, those at risk of breast cancer or those on estrogen-reducing meds need other options.
@@kristinj7173 yes but does he say that? Most women can use hrt.
Plant milks are supplemented with calcium, so technically they should cause heart disease too, right? But Dr Greger keeps telling us no, don't be afraid of plant milks. I'm starting to wonder if that's just vegan propaganda to not avoid plant milks(?) Btw, I eat plant-based so I'm not a vegan-hater, lol. This part just doesn't make sense to me and I don't know if it's safe to keep consuming plant milks because I keep hearing that calcium supplements are bad for the heart.
Not all plant milks are supplemented, at least not here in Europe. When I buy my soy milk at a whole foods store it is not supplemented with calcium or any vitamins.
@@Sophie-qt5jx I know, but one of the reasons why I consume plant milk is for the calcium. I find it hard to eat adequate amounts of other vegan calcium rich foods
@@Luckygirlme111 green leafy vegetables
@@Sophie-qt5jx Yes but I don't eat enough of them. Pre-packaged leafy greens contain bacteria so I avoid them since I once got sick of them and they wrecked my gut.
Plant milk without added Calcium.
