In this video, weâre going to talk about osteoporosis. The first thing you should know is that osteoporosis is not a calcium deficiency.
Many people who have osteoporosis resort to drinking a lot of milk and taking calcium supplements. But this will not cause the condition to go away.
Data shows that calcium supplements do not help with osteoporosis. In fact, it even increases your risk for heart attacks and stroke.
500 mg of calcium daily increases your risk of heart attack by 30% and stroke by 20%.
Using calcium and vitamin D regularly does not reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures-but it does increase the risk of kidney stones.
Calcium is tightly regulated. Too much calcium, iron, or copper can all cause serious health problems.
You have a lot more leniency with minerals like magnesium and potassium since your body will just get rid of the excess.
30% of people in the US have calcification in their arteries. I believe this is partly due to so much calcium supplementation.
A coronary artery calcification test will give you a good idea of how much calcification is in your arteries.
Milk-alkali syndrome is a condition where someone is consuming too much calcium. This condition leads to kidney failure, psychosis, dizziness, confusion, poor appetite, and death. This can be due to drinking too much milk or taking too many antacids.
Itâs best to get your calcium naturally from food and avoid calcium carbonate.
Osteoporosis is a severe loss of bone mass and density. Bone is made from protein, minerals, and calcium-not just calcium. Osteopenia is a lesser version of osteoporosis. Osteomalacia is when the bones become soft-also known as rickets in children.
These are all a result of a vitamin D deficiency. Stress, cortisol, malabsorption, low estrogen, and steroids are all contributors to osteoporosis.
Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by 20X. Without vitamin D, you would have to take 20X the calcium to absorb enough for healthy bones. Vitamin K2 is also vital. It helps keep calcium in your bones and not in your arteries.
Get plenty of sunlight and eat healthy to support your bones.
Regular exercise is also important in avoiding osteoporosis.

Thanks for watching. I hope this video helped clear up why osteoporosis is not caused by a calcium deficiency.
I love my doctor... I now have osteopenia. He told me to get a weighted vest, walk more, and do weight baring exercises. Never promotes a drug, always lifestyle changes, which have all worked so far for me!
There are some good doctors out there, the ones who are not bought by Pharma.
You can be very fit from cycling and similar sports where there's little to no load bearing and have osteopenia. Cycling, in particular, is prone to it because any body weight, except in the legs is assumed to slow you down. Racing cyclists crash a lot and which makes monitoring bone density doubly important. Even worse for women cyclists. A good example of professional sports people not being fit in an holistic sense.
So what is a good recomendation for osteopenia ??
@@cuebj you are so right! I was a runner for many years. Then I got older with the usual runners injuries and surgeries. Then when Covid hit, or really before I started to cycle to work. Not weight baring. Then being a white, Irish woman the crap hit the fan! Keep up the good fight. Itâs all we can do! â€ïž
@@shawntakada1851 ...does having a bit of extra weight around the waist count as âweight bearingâ?

As a doctor, i see most of us are killing our patients. We need this knowledge.
My cardiologist always warned me to stay away from to much vitamins especially calcium. He told me he had more patients that were sick because excessive vitamin intake than any other condition related to the heart. This last visit he gave me vitamin D every 48 hours Vitamin K and vitamin C and told me to rest one week of not taking any vitamins. When I saw your video I clicked on it right away and I was so happy to hear you say exactly the same thing my cardiologist just told me!!! Love all your videos! Thank you for teaching us so many things about our body đđ»
Finally a Dr that gives you great info

@@lizbolen3923 How much vit D?
At menopause I was diagnosed with osteoporosis after 3 months in a cast for leg fracture. Was prescribed lots of calcium supplementation. I refused Fosamax. Then 2 years after I had an emergency visit to hospital with very painful kidney stones. Then I decided to join fitness club and never had kidney stone or fracture ever since. Now 78 years young. Thanks dr Berg.

When are they going to start requiring a semester of nutrition for medical school? Seriously. The level of ignorance is appalling.
Absolutely
It's kinda like going to school to learn to be a mechanic and leaving not knowing how the engine works....
Ignorance for sure, I couldn't agree more.
Back in the 1980's I went to the #1 Nursing program at a major University. Nutrition was an Elective for doctors, It was a requirement for nurses and pharmacy students. We had only 3 M.D. students in our class. It has not changed much since then. My last doctor argued with me because he said there was no such thing as vitamin K2 when I told him I was taking it with my Vit. D3. Imagine how many of his patients get a massive dose of Vit. D3 when they test deficient but are not told about K2 or the danger of taking Calcium daily (probably CA carbonate).
Maybe 3-4 semesters.
I am a Nurse practitioner and Dr. Berg is amazing, I follow his advice all the time because I know he has done his research because I do my own as well.
Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself & patientâs nutritionally!
I highly recommend Dr Ken Berry as well. Catch his YT Q&A every Monday, 7pm Central time. Also numerous YT videos on demand
I mentioned this to my cardiologist and he said calcium supplements donât build up in the cardiac arteries. However, years before I had a cardiologist, my primary physician sent me for a cardiac calcium score...and I was worse than 75% of women my age. Years before that, I was told by my physician to take calcium supplements. I developed osteoporosis anyway.
That's before research.
How old are you now?
Yes, my moms doctor put her on high doses of calcium and she got horrible kidney stones, then suffered a heart attack. Nobody takes responsibility
Exactly..if i had followed my GP's advice both me and my now ex wife would be dead. Now she has a new partner and a new baby and i have a new life.
thank god for u tube and this doctor....i watch him all the time...some of our doctors need to study on u tube also...
this doc explains things very well..i enjoy him a lot
I'm sorry for your loss. â€

Yup. Same for my Mum. The Dr said she needed to take calcium tablets. Ruined her kidneys. She put a lot of trust in her Dr. I prefer the herbal/food route.

In 1991 I was diagnosed with early osteoporosis. In 1996 I stopped all dairy products. In 2004 the osteoporosis was no longer evident in the x-rays. I still don't drink milk or most dairy products and have little evidence of arthritis or osteoporosis. I eat plenty of vegetables and some meat, hardly any takeaways and no artificial sweeteners or palm fat. My blood pressure is a bit on the high side but blood sugar is low to normal. No cholestrol issues. My general health improved radically when I gave up dairy products.
I have osteoporosis and this video is very helpful. Thank you so much for enlightening us on dangers of taking too much calcium. Thank you Docter!
My doctor had a fit because she said u have osteoporosis and obviously I was not taking the calcium she ordered. I was taking that. That was 20 years ago. I am 74 and so far no bone issues. I walk 5 miles a day and use to run.
That is awesome!
you were taking just vitamin D?
@@decosta1 calcium and the drug at that time prescribed by doctor. I can't think of the name now.
@Kit Katt Yes, I took the calcium
At a certain age, living in the city, I believed all the crap we were told about how we must wear sunscreen, even with no sunshine in Melbourne and take calcium supplements as a female to avoid brittle bones etc. I ended up with serious Vitamin D deficiency and all sorts of nasty foot bones problems, which I thought were caused by years of ballet dancing, but they weren't. I stopped the calcium supplements and sunscreen, stopped wearing spongy gym shoes and doing standard gym for a year, just walked around for miles in the sun and did some balletic stretches instead of gym and drank tons of water. My feet I thought had been permanently damaged mysteriously repaired themselves after I stopped the calcium supplente and got rid of gym shoes.
What about sunlight damage to your skin? You are caucasian?
@@VYings I use coconut oil to protect my skin from the sun.
I'm glad you told your story. There is hope for my 64 year old feet!
@@cindymyrick7335 Coconut oil is not a sunscreen. Some literally apply oil to tan even more, this will damage your skin even more and cause skin aging.
So what shoes should I wear the only thing that's even halfway comfortable or sneakers and they even hurt my feet at the end of the day
My mom got osteoarthrtis and the only her doctor recommended were omega 3 and vitamin C (prescribed based on the lifestyle and age). Change diet, eat a lot of vegetables and fuits, drink a lot of water, walking around, doing gardening (her hobby) and one year later she joined marathon.
Just got diagnosed with Osteopenia and am so thankful for Dr. Berg. I knew what the Orthopedic doctor was telling me about taking tons of Calcium was not going to make things any better.
K2-M7 pushes the D and calcium into the bones.
My doctor and I got into a âdiscussionâ over why I wouldnât take a calcium prescription. She insisted, I said absolutely not. At every visit, they bring it up. The answer is still no.
You need a new doctor. One who listens and is up to date with their knowledge.
My doctor has never suggested that I take calcium supplements. I'm a 65 year old woman.
If you dont listen to them, why paying to visit them anyway?
You are a smart woman. I always ask my doctor's why, and sometimes I have to tell them why NOT.
@@wisecoconut5 good luck with that !
I almost died from kidney stones from taking calcium daily. I became septic and critical within minutes. It took 2 years for me to recover my strength. Not worth it. I'm a kale fan bigtime. Great videos! Thanks so much!
Kale will destroy your thyroidâŠ
@@Blaze23557 really????đČđČđČđČ Dr Berg said so???
@@Blaze23557 really????đČđČđČđČ Dr Berg said so???
@@fever3583 Eating Kale (among other cruciferous vegetables) *raw* for a long enough period of time will significantly reduce your thyroid function. It's *common knowledge* amongst nutritionists and nutrition enthusiasts.
Kale is very high in oxalate (spinach is the worst), so that could explain @Jane Pedersen 's kidney stones. (The theory though is that if you love high oxalate foods, that you eat those with foods very high in calcium. Don't eat them separately. That way the oxalate crystals will bind with calcium and exit through the feces rather than the oxalate crystals making it into your blood (of which your kidneys filter). On the other hand, Eastern Asian medicine claims (and for good reason) that oxalate in moderation are good for health, as they help to remove excess minerals from the body via the urine. And in fact, your liver makes its own oxalate crystals from l-glycine when needed.)
Which kinds of calcium do you take daily
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge. Iâm new to your page but am so grateful to have found it. Iâve been to so many physicians & not one wants to listen to alternatives to their very dangerous medications. Knowledge is powerâŠthank youđ
Dr Berg is a Godsend. I learnt so much from him Thank you Dr Berg I wish my doctors in UK put more emphasis on nutrition than medication
Once again-a reason for me to get a new doctor.
Western medicine Drs are not trained in nutrition. That's why there are nutritionists, dietitians and naturopaths. Find a great naturopath and a health food store run by a nutritionist who can offer free advice
HOpefully you do not mean a GP, they are just interested in the money from pharma, most of them

It's so good to receive the correct information on health issues....
If only doctors do what they are supposed to do unfortunately that's not the case the majority of the time nowadays. Dr Berg we are blessed with your information. May it bring a wave of enlightenment for people's awareness of looking after themselves and a wake up call for the sincere doctors out there
Most Dr's want to keep you a frequent customer for life. They don't want to fix you because then you won't need them. They treat your symptoms and ignore the root causes.
The medical community has lost their credibility from covid and many things before it. Making it normal to inject you or have you digest poisons, routinely removing things that are meant to help you like your tonsils, appendix and gallbladder. The only interest 90% of doctors are to get paid. They don't even uphold their oath to do no harm
most docs nowadays just want our co-pays. (the irony is, one of the vessels in florida a very nice yacht has a name COPAY, can you believe it?) if not for lockdown/covid i'll be visiting them 6X a year (because of my cancer history). in our visit to them, they want us to pay first before they can press their stethoscopes on us. if for some reasons we can't show up on our appointment, we have to cancel it within 24 hours prior otherwise they'll going to bill us just the same.
i was complaining about my throat and they (2 docs to be exact) prescribed meds for my tummy.
they really don't want their patients to get better.
doctor and dentists still need to learn but don't let the dentists drill make the teeth get hole to get money and in 10 year later a lot of people get damage teeth , all the dentists in Vietnam do that to all people, and may dentists kill all people teeth and doctors also do, and that country isn't good for travel too , do not travel to that place
They will not think outside of the box. They won't even entertain it. If the FDA says so, that's the rode they take.
Glad I saw this! I was taking it more for acidemia, than osteo. It works better than bicarbonates. I had osteo by 65 but took the best calcium supplements every day religiously, with Magnesium and D. I walked 4 dogs once a day and excercized 3x week- for 40 years, so calcium supplementation is obviously not the problem. I'm also a vegetarian and live on greens. So, just leaves genetics.
Thank you for sharing. My mom started watching your videos that are translated to Russian and has started exercising recently. :) I hope her health improves.

Very interesting topic, my grandma was hospitalized last year and it was because she had too much calcium in her blood so this made a lot of sense.
Thank you much freedom very interesting and informative we just go on with our daily habits and not think
In the case of your grandma it's a bit more complicated: Too much calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) is almost always a result of an enlarged parathyroid gland (there are four in your neck). It's non-cancerous. But removing that enlarged gland almost always results in a cure. Here's the problem: no-one knows why that parathyroid gland became enlarged and overactive. It would obviously be better to understand what is really going on, but in the meantime hypercalcemia can be live-threatening, so the gland is removed. Maybe one day we'll understand more fully.
@Paul it's all related with osteoperosis to. I have hypercalcemia and they think it's my parathyroid . Going to get more test done.

I've been taking 500 mg of calcium plus D for my osteoporosis as suggested by my PC for the past 10 years. Need to have a talk with her regarding what I've just seen. Thank you Dr. For this video.
Great video! Although what you forgot to mention is that osteoporosis is due to silica depletion. You see, silica is required for the bones to mineralize such as calcium. Osteoporosis is simply a loss of collagen of the bones due to lack of silica and vitamin C, both of them restores collagen and elastin. Silica is a piezoelectric material that generates electricity under pressure. When the collagen matrix is stressed, which applies pressure on the silica molecules, an electrical current is generated that electrodeposits minerals in to the collagen matrix. This allows bone to gain density. As a component of collagen and elastin, silica also aids in giving bone its flexibility, and therefore much of bone's strength and shock absorption. Without silica, the bones would be unable to mineralize, and even if the bone could mineralize it would easily fracture like a piece of chalk. Silica aids in the absorption of calcium, and displaces the heavy metal lead, which is detrimental to bone.
Although calcium is better known as an important nutrient for bones, silica is actually the most important nutrient for proper bone health and strength. Decreased silica levels leads to poor bone mineral deposition in bones, and loss of flexibility and shock absorption, increasing the risk of fracture. So best I recommend would be either butcher's broom herb, bamboo stalks or diatomaceous earth food grade (DE), for DE you add a fullspoon in gallon container filled with water and let it sit there for 3 to 5 days to settle, this is because silica converts to organic silica form called orthosilicic acid which gets very absorbed in the body. The same thing how silica gets converted to orthosilicic acid by our stomach acid. You simply drink the water without disturbing the DE since that water has trace amount of orthosilicic acid. That is how you do it.
Wow! Mind blown! Thank you for those awesome tips!
@@iwantthetruthandnothingbut6521 You are most welcome! Yes a lot of people don't know about silica or silica hasn't been mentioned so much these days unfortunately.
This is the answer I'm looking for - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
@@caramelobear1952 You are most welcome! Silica is the number 1 most important nutrient to fix issues like osteoporosis or even premature aging skin, osteoarthritis, especially COPD, many doctors claims that COPD cannot be cured, but if people understand the deepest part of physiology is that COPD is a breakdown of both collagen and elastin of the alveoli, so how do you restore these 2? Silica and vitamin C. That is how you do it.
Thanks a million for this infođ
Iâm diagnosed with osteopenia and immediately my OBGYN placed me on 1200 mg of calcium with vit. D.
No one did blood work to see if I was calcium deficient.
I work out daily in my garden, eat lots of dark greens and Moringa leaves.
Iâm stopping this calcium now.
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!
It's usually a MAGNESIUM deficiency. The body borrows it from the non critical area called bones in order to maintain critical muscular, neurological and digestive functions. Unfortunately, magnesium is also a critical structural component of bone. Without it, you lose calcium. So, the apparent calcium deficiency is all that the medical industry pays any attention to.
Neither calcium nor magnesium deficiencies show up in a standard blood test due to blood homeostasis.
Agree 100%. Congratulation. Magnesium important. Vit D

Thank you so much for explaining calcium. I was missed informed and I am glad that you explained everything. Thank you again
Have I just found a real doctor? I almost cant believe it. Bless you Eric!!! First time I see a doctor recommending natural remedies.
Dr. Darren Schmidt has an interesting take on this subject as well. He blames "lactic acidosis", whereby the blood, being highly acidic due to excess sugar metabolism, triggers calcium loss in order to balance the body's PH, calcium being alkaline. He observes that many elderly people have serious bone loss, yet have high levels of calcium in their soft tissues, resulting in deteriorated postures with stiff joints and muscles. Answer; lay off the sugar. This simple acton on our part is a cure for countless ailments.
Dr. Sherry Rogers MD actually mentioned this several times in her books from late â90s to early 2000s as the beginning of chronic degenerative disease, stating: âThe problem is that many people have overdrawn on their calcium account (bones as calcium bank), resulting in osteoporosis.â ~ quote from her book âNo More Heartburnâ đ ©ïž2000. đč We do appreciate Dr. Darren Schmidt and all his health analyses, of course. đ đč I myself have proof in my (health records business) databank of 1,000s of patientsâ x-rays that show majority of the older women (40s and above) have soft tissue calcification... for some reason, our lead radiologist made sure to mention this tissue calcification issue when dictating on lung x-ray reports. This is even most evident when the patient is on osteoporosis/osteopenia type of medication, if I look closely at the records. âȘïž Please donât take my word for it đ ...get a blood test done or a lung x-ray if you will... and ask your doctor (or radiologist).
Makes sense for sure!
Interesting
Yes indeed Dr schmidt is good as well he tackles well the acidosis issues caused just like you said Sugar a nb d its derivatives.
I totally believe THAT. ALSO, too much salt.
The heart foundation needs to make more doctors aware of this vitally important information.
I think the link to, and the importance of, "gut health" should also not be under-estimated.
Dr. Berg, I can't thank you enough for everything you are sharing with us. Thank you. I'm gonna share this with my mother because she is a die hard fan of calcium.
I am 62. I was experiencing lots of stress daily and dropped 17 lbs quickly for no apparent reason. No doctors could figure it out. Went to multiple specialists, had so many tests, even went to a womans clinic. No one had a clue. It also affected my memory. I called it brain farts. Meanwhile, I came across an article in a health letter I subscribe to. They talked about symptoms of adrenal insufficiency. They all matched mine.

@@Drberg I thank you for putting your content out which is extremely helpful not to mention life saving! Blessings
So informative, thank you. Keep up your good work. Thanks Dr Berg
Dr Berg your videos are so informative with detailed information to build our knowledge base, thank you so much!
I thought it was too. This is good information. When I turned 50 I took extra calcium and developed my first kidney stones. I quit taking it 4 years ago. So glad I did. Now I have the knowledge that backs it up. I was going against what my doctor told me back then. So glad I found Dr. Berg on you tube.
Thank you for your important information. I am so glad I found this video. It was just in time and so helpful!
As my mother had osteoporosis, my doc adviced me to check my bone-density every 2 years at menopause, which I've done, could see the difference of the bone density, now after 10 years I've diagnosed with osteopenie and should take calcium, I eat diary products everyday, didn't take calcium, but I had too much stress, because my mother died for 3 years ago. - Now I understood here in this video why my bones are weakened.
Thank you Doctor Berg, I enjoy and learn a lot with your videos. A big like for you!
Eye opening . Had I been aware about such vital information thirty years back then I would not have suffered current problem of osteo-porosis at the age of seventy years .Impressive exposure Dr .đŒ
Another eloquent presentation on such an important topic. Thank you Dr Berg for such generiosity in educating the general public.
Very glad to be of help.

Thanks so much for this valuable info. I see the need to talk to my physician. Very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, where can I find the keto recipes?
Thank you Dr Berg!!!!I love your videos!!!- helpful, clear,concise information. And interesting,too!!!!!you are a Gem!!!!đžđžđžđžđž
Well that's great 20 years ago, my OB/GYN insisted at the beginning of my 6 month check up that we must be taking
1,500 mg of calcium to make sure we did not get osteoporosis when we age. Now I have soft tissue calcium deposits
in multiple locations.
Thank you so much for this analysis. I'm taking it to my doctor. I am vegan and have tracked my daily intake at 500-700 mg from my food yet I have Osteopenia. I have started adding Vitamin D 3 and will explore K2. I am very physically active.
Start eating meat!! Your bones need it!
I never miss a single video of Dr.Eric Berg, great videos, very informative, thanks for your efforts
If this is so we are very happy! Thank you for following :)
Always good, always much appreciated!
The best explanation ever! Thank you Dr. Berg.
Dr Berg, you are awesome and amazing, so informative and helpful! đđđ
Thank you dr. I've been wondering about that. Love your videos.
I love your advice.I will go ahead and watch your program again. thanks a million Dr.berg.
Blessings to you DrBerg for all the good things you are doing.
Excellent advice right here. Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care & stay safe too everybody. đ·â€đđ¶
Wonderful video Dr.Berg! Could you make video about cavities and how to prevent it.
I'm happy I stumbled across this video. By the time I was 50 I had 6 bulging disc 14 vertebrae crumbling and I asked the question why. I've always had a low vitamin D level 2 being my lowest I average around 10 most my life. I did finally start taking vitamin D3. I also have been allergic to milk since birth and with these issues I had my suspicion of why my bones in my back were bad. They did the bone density test I have Osto Pena. They told me to take calcium pills along with D. I had thought this odd because my calcium levels weren't low. Makes more sense D K play into the strength of bones
Thank you Dr Berg you have changed the health of me and my family.
Thank you so much for your videos. I just took a lot of calcium supps as directed by my Dr and now i have two kidney stones which are incredibly painful so i am drinking a lot water with lemon juice in. This has really helped me to understand what happened in my body. I am going to stay with the K2 D vit instead. I am really enjoying learning and the way you teach on the white board. Thank you. S
That's an excellent video because Dr. Berg breaks it down to make it understandable. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
Thank you for sharing such valuable information !! Blessings Dr, Eric !!
Very good video again.
Donât forget how important it is to eat enough proteins. Bone is built from proteins first. Especially older people donât eat enough proteins.
Dr Berg, YOU ARE THE BEST. You helped my mom sooooo well. She even thinks (knows) that if it wasn't for you she would not be alive today. The insulin resistance that she had alone. God bless you and your off springs til the end of time.
I'm totally addicted to your videos. They are sooo insightful âŁïž đ€
I love your programâŠ.such knowledge we can gain. Going to get rid of my CALCIUM PILLS now.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. You're a one-in-kind knowledge doctor.
Dr. Berg is the greatest. He's always been way ahead of the curve when it comes to health and fitness.
Nevertheless, Dr Berg left out some important points. It really is more about exercise and here is why. There was a famous study that was done. They measured the bone density in professional baseball pitcher's arms and found that the pitching arm had three times the bone density as the non-pitching arm. This tells you two things. One, the importance of exercise for bone density and two, the importance of bone density in relation to the part of the body that you exercise.
Another significant piece of information that Dr Berg left out is telling you what calcium carbonate really is. Calcium carbonate is limestone. Limestone is what is added to sand to make sand harden and turn sand into cement. Now you understand why calcium carbonate causes kidney stones, heart attacks, and strokes. It's literally hardening the inside of your body.
The last significant point is that it's not about getting too much calcium. It's all about the type of calcium you consume. You can get all the calcium you want from green plants and other natural sources of calcium and it's not going to cause kidney stones, heart attacks, or strokes.
And now you know the rest of the story!
Thanks!! Unfortunately docs wont take the extra 3-5mins to explain this to patients. Seriously!! The $$ dictates their practice. Im cynical having worked in medical field > 40 Years with Numerous doctors. The good 1s Few. VERY sad!!
Thank you!!!
first paragraph was super unnecessary but thx
i find it hard to believe that drinking unfortified milk alone could cause hypercalcilemia. It's a combination of milk and calcium supplements, not just milk alone.
the only calcium supplement that is safe is the one taken from plants (algae in this case).
VitD,K2 yes!!! Now this makes perfect sense. Never bought into taking Calcium supplements because of the reasons you described in your video.
đ Thank You!
Thanks for the info. Subbed đâšđč
Youâre so close to 5 million subs!
Doc please stick to this format (white board behind you)m it is much better :) Great video as per usual :)
Great info Dr. Berg! What about taking silica?
drink volvic mineral water
Amazing! Thank you for helping me to be a better nurse!
Wow. Good stuff. I would appreciate where you are getting this information. Which studies are you using? I like to always cross reference information that might be helpful me. One has to be careful nowadays. Please include the data and the studies you are using in your presentations. I donât mind looking this stuff up. Thx.
Always wisdom and concise. Great!đđŒđŠđș
Thank you for this long overdue video. What about the magnesium to calcium ratio?
I know it's been over a year, but I wanted to mention that (if you didn't find this out already) it's about "elemental" magnesium and calcium that's available in the supplement. So magnesium citrate doesn't have the same percentage of elemental magnesium as magnesium oxide, magnesium glycinate, etc.
If you google "aafp Therapeutic Uses of Magnesium" and select the first search result, Table 2 shows the elemental magnesium percentages from magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate, for example.
And if you google "mayoclinic healthy-lifestyle nutrition-and-healthy-eating in-depth calcium-supplements achieving the right balance" then, under the heading Types of calcium supplements is a "table" of elemental levels of calcium in four different calcium supplements.
I believe the optimal ratio for calcium-phosphorus-magnesium is 2:2:1. (It's important to consider phosphorus too, when talking about bone health. And other minerals like manganese, zinc, and copper . . . in addition to vitamins like K2 as mentioned in the video.)
Thanks so much for sharing this information. Ver enlightening. God bless!
Thank you Dr.Berg! You've helped me so much!
Dr. Berg, thanks so much for your dedication on educating us with the common myths! Much appreciated!đđđ
