Chris is the most knowledgeable pharmacist I have ever listened to....He had such great information about over all health and how to maintain good health with food, life style and supplements. He presented the info in clear and easy to understand manner...I loved his gentle, friendly manner of speaking. Just seemed like a overall really great guy. Thanks for having him on your show. Thanks for having him on your show. Chris was a real plus. Star qualtiy.
Great job. Brad love how you are good at clarifying things for us. Very helpful. This pharmacist is amazing. A wealth of knowledge. Thanks for doing this video. I am trying to learn more about how to reverse osteoporosis. Thank you.
Really enjoyed all of the videos with Chris. A lot of good info.
Good info! Thank you for all the information y'all give so generously! ❤
I like this pharmacist. He's articulate and knowledgeable.
Chris should have how own blog about vitamins etc he’s giving a lot of info about vitamins we need ! Thanks again for a very informative video
Great video.👍 Vitamin D daily intake is definitely one to discuss further with a doctor. As it depends on factors such as latitude, skin tone, and age. Also there’s research that shows it reduces risk of some respiratory diseases - which is important in current context.
I just took Vitamin K,I'm glad that this was recommended in this video. I also have to cut down on sugars. I do eat brussel sprouts and spinach, I have to do more work on nutrition. I'm a constant work in progress.I cut down on cheese because of my cholesterol levels being high on one of my doctors visits.
Thank You for the Info! I don't do meat diary and I do feel stronger. And I don't do milk or take calcium. .
Good morning therapists, thank you for your much needed help.
Thank you for addressing this topic. Please include in your research the very promising results of Dr. Shirin Hooshmand’s studies available in Pubmed showing documented evidence that prunes decrease the rate of bone resorption and actually have been shown to increase bone density as well. Please include this information which is s delicious and completely natural assist toward strong bones!
Boron is what prunes have in optimal supply don’t want the carbs just the boron.
My symptoms started when I heard that using a small trampoline for bouncing would be so great for the vascular system. The one I could afford was too hard in the bounce. My spine compressed. I couldn’t even breathe! Somebody gave me a weight belt, which lifted the pressure off and I could breathe again! I also got a Teeter table to use. It’s great.
Walked 2 Mile Hilly walk since mid 30's Yoga last 12 years in addition. Organic whole foods die for decades and decades of various kinds. Was dairy free last 13 years. Exercised daily but probably more sedentary than most due to chronic illness issues. Took vitamin D and tested levels via ND past decade. Ladies get your bones density test at 50. Don't wait until age 61 and well after menopause when it is very difficult to build bone. The fact they are not testing osteoporosis until age 65 is a travesty in women's health!
Great information from these two! Thanks!
the stress of a broken heart can break bones too...
This is excellent information thanks so much
this is great.. bring Chris back more often!
jesus is a myth
your parents are not atheist i guess
Bones are 40 percent or more protein. Eat food with a full range of amino acids and do resistance exercise.
Do you have anything in mind? Besides shakes... or these fake teas
Let me clarify I eat eggs.. tofu.. nuts and lean meat. Love greens... so... what more
Eggs, eggs and more eggs!
@Betty McNally Take vitamin D3 (not D2) and take calcium but bear in mind there are different kinds of calcium. I take calcium, magnesium, Vit D, collagen, etc. Watch Menopause Taylor on You Tube, she is a gynaecologist with a wealth of information that teaches you everything.
Whoa 40%!🤯 That’s amazing! Never would have imagined that. Helpful insight.👍👍
“Similarly, many studies have reported that high-protein diets were linked to the increased production of IGF-1, a key osteotrophic growth factor,30,84 increased bone mineral content, decreased risk of fracture, and increased fracture repair after injury.” - Lorincz, C., Manske, S.

I have read about taking Calcium supplements but its interesting to know that tomato juice (that’s not made from tomato purée)
is the best way for the body to absorb iron and calcium.
Great info!
Thank you !
Great info ! Keep on with the friendly pharmacist! I can’t digest calcium carbonate. Use calcium lactate...
Excellent information; thanks for sharing this one!
Thank you !
@@BobandBrad You're welcome :))
Awesome video thanks guys! Absolutely important information for me as an MMA fighter!
Learned more about calcium for my master class. Amounts and how to take a supplement. Thank you
It's really important to state what form of calcium since calcium carbonate is not absorbed well and dumps into the arteries leading as has been more recently discovered causing susceptibility to stroke and heart attack.
Calcium citrate not good either.
Calcium Carbonate was a big disappointment. I didn't know that doesn't "absorb well and dumps into the arteries leading, as has been more recently discovered causing susceptibility to stroke and heart attack" Thank you for that info.
@@staytunednow2298 Why isn't Calcium Citrate not a good form of Calcium?
It leads to kidney stones as well, just after taking calcium supplements with vit D was diagnosed with kidney stones, it is outrages and criminal not to warn people about it !
@@katiescarlett5249 Calcium can be dangerous. It needs to be taken with magnesium, and I forget the other vitamin. Is it D3?

You guys are great! This is such helpful information on what I can do for my Osteopenia! I’m practicing the exercises you’ve shown on other videos too for my bone density to increase. It’s crazy that at the age of 33 I have Osteropenia when age 35 is when people’s bones are the strongest. But I had a liver transplant as a child, so I’m immunosuppressed, meaning I have a high chance to get anything.
Suggestion : don t say " my osteopenia " . It influences your healing .
Great topic! Get in the sun but dont burn. The sun lifts your mood and helps you sleep better!
I was an avid weight lifter for 20 years, then my life schedule changed and had to stop. Have never broke a bone but my dexa came back low. Didn't do well with meds, so doing the diet thing and calcium supplements w/D3. Lots of kale!
The quality of the vegetable is only dependent upon the quality of the soil...intensive mass farming practices strip the land of all nutrients.
Thank you! Very educational.
Very well explained video by you sir as my aunti was suffering pain in neck and lower back and she get diagnosed Osteoporosis & after taking allopathic medicines she has less relief, We are searching for some alternate treatment and find your video and start to eat these foods, follow the dier along with Osteoporosis care pack of planet ayurveda for last 5 months and her symptoms are no more now
Spinach, brussel sprouts? Hello, iodine depletion. Outdated information. How about protein importance, which drives the bone formation and not calcium.
I was told to take my vitamins on a empty stomach before I have breakfast 2 hrs. Then when I have my breakfast to take my medications. Enjoyed this video. Yes I eat as much as I can of Kale, Spinach, Broccoli. Thank you guys!
Hi Lori do u cook kale n spinach bfr eating ? As read smwhere that raw contain oxalates
@@blessed9491 spinach does but kale is very low in oxalates

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis ..and my dr prescribed Calcium citrate ..I have to have THR ..in aug2022 and I’m a yoga instructor , personal trainer and pilates practitioner …and vegan ,,,but bc my Vitamin D3 was over the top ,,I was told to stop all vitamin d3 ….now I’m confused ..also my bone dr wants me to take Prolia injections …umm. Nooooo …really bad side affects after long term use ….screw that
What is THR? Have you tried Fosamax, instead of Prolia injections?
I use flax seed (ground) and chia seeds which are good for building bones
Do you have informations about the big risks involved by this strong treatmant? Prolia is very much criticized. Tot much problems.
I’m 57 and just discovered I have 3 compression fractures in my thoracic spine. Just this past Saturday I got a compression fracture in my lumbar spine as well. It was just from trying to get away from some swarming bees. I didn’t even fall, just moved wrong. My Osteoporosis is ADVANCED. We don’t know what the root cause is but I suspect it’s my gut issues, hormones and childhood trauma.
Interesting, I have the same and a gut issue. Bone loss doesn't happen overnight and I just experienced this gut issue within the last four months. I'm not taking pro and prebiotics. Are you doing anything?
@@eclectictomboy6873 sorry to hear that. Do you have fractures? I just joined a program Stronger Bones solution with BoneCoach. It’s good but expensive. There are so many factors to bone loss! It’s overwhelming!
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis after falling off the couch and fracturing my back. I am only 54. I thought this was for older people. Guess not. :(
How are you feeling now? What did you do for your osteoporosis?
I read a study from Britain about women making their leg bones stronger by jumping..I can't jump very good so I just go up on my toes and land heavy on my heels..it's the impact on my leg bones that helps.
They have vibration plates you can buy. Use a low vibration. You can get them pretty cheap. Around $60.
What do you know about OsteoStrong? Is this a recommendable place to look into for PR and strengthening your skeletal system in your opinion for some patients?
Bob & Brad have introduced Sara Meeks to their program. Sara is an 80+ yo Osteoporosis sufferer who happens to be a physical therapist, also. She's been in the field since 1962!!
She has a video out talking about Osteostrong. She didn't care for the program saying she didn't see it as adequate for anybody with Osteoporosis/penia because of the time constraints of the program.
She has other suggestions and works with many many ppl who suffer with these bone problems. Who better to know what to do than her?!
She prefers isometric-type exercises for maintaining bone and said the whole body vibration plate Marodyne LiV is worth the hefty price tag, in case you might be interested.
Sara saw an increase of 11% bone using it, she said in one of her videos.
Luv u guys👍👍
Thank you !
I heard that taking calcium at supplements can increase chance of stroke because your body is getting too much all at once. Get it with greens and nuts, etc.
I sent this to a friend in Malta.
Resistance exercises work in a pool if you use weights & other means of weighting arms & ankles. Good for less able people
Good to know...I am in Florida and hate walking in heat..
but love walking and moving in pool
Insufficient stress on the bones because there is no impact. Weighted workouts in water would be good for cardio and muscle but not bone. Must have impact or sufficient stress to the bone to compress it or pull at it to initiate the osteoblast activity needed for bone modelling.
Why do experts keep touting vitamins from vegetables when they’re in much higher levels and far more bioavailable in meat?
Yeah! don't get to scaring me!!! I'm 52 and just been diagnosed and it is not explained well so thank you.
Do you have video about de quervains tendonitis
Dr wallach tells you the trust about the 90 essential nutrients
Always like these guys amazing common sense and humour
Thank you !
Read Dr. Lani Simpson's books on osteoporosis and also on Vitamin D.
Thanks!
Breakfast this morning : Coffee, mashed sweet potato w/ chopped broccoli. I love my veggies and only way bone in organic chicken. No fake veggie supplements for this gal.
Are you talking about reversing osteoporosis or preventing it?
Yes!
Please be sure to mention that vitamin K should be menaquinone (K2 7) not K1.
The advice on calcium and vitamin D is not in alignment with most of what I have read. A quarter of an hour in the sun - especially in the winter - is not going to give you anythinh like as much Vitamin D as claimed in this video. I would advise getting further information and making up your own mind.
What about Magnesium? Needed 1:2 with Calcium? And aren't carbonated beverages a risk factor? Really appreciate you guys, you keep me moving!
It's not about carbonation. In cola drinks where you find phosphorus carbonate is the problem.
So what should us men take please
My Endocrinologist has me on 4000 IU! Do u think there's an underlying issue that hasn't been diagnosed? I had thyroid cancer and had removal of thyroid in 2014
I had moderate vitamin D deficiency due to a medication I take. I had terrible sciatica and lower back pain until I had the test for the deficiency and starting vitamin D1000um a day supplements made years of pain vanish.
Was the lack of vit D connected to your sciatica problem??
Thanks. However, spinach while containing calcium also has oxalates which bind to it making it unavailable to the body. Chard, beet greens and rhubarb greens share this quality. (Of course spinach has other benefits.)
However other green vegetables like kale and broccoli are fine, good sources of AVAILABLE calcium.
Right! You would think they would know this
@@southerngrandma4353 ☺👍🏼
@@deepakhiranandani6488 so they need to b cooked bfr having u mean?
@@kirannathani9123 no, even if cooked the calcium is not available to the body. Calcium oxalates is formed. Too much can also be dangerous so not more than one cup spinach should be eaten in a day. Spinach has other benefits but its calcium is not absorbed by us. For calcium we should eat other greens.
Only spinach, chard, rhubarb leaves, beet leaves have too much oxalates so their calcium gets blocked. The calcium from other green vegetables can be absorbed.
I thought kale had oxylates too
Great pharmacist. I would think women have a higher incidence of osteoporosis at a younger age simply because their bones are smaller/thinner than a man’s-generally speaking.
It's also BCos of childbirth as calcium is leached from the bones for the baby
It’s called menopause which is main cause of bone loss when you become estrogen deficient
What about oxalate in the greens and nuts that causes problems for many people?
We still have milk and milk substitutes. (I'm in the same boat with the kidney stones) Jill Harris with the KSD has a list of "safe" calcium foods.
I didn't hear you mention a role for Magnesium (maybe I missed it). I have heard that most people don't get enough Magnesium, and that it is important in the absorption of calcium.
I get too much magnesium. It causes undesirable side effects.I use an algae based calcium and finally found one that has a lower amount of magnesium along with D3 and K2. All the other ones had too much magnesium. Of course I eat lots of dark leafy greens.
@@famlbk do u cook the greens bfr having them?
@@kirannathani9123 I steam them lightly.I also have them in smoothies.
Alendronite sodium has helped me a lot, off the brittle bone and gone up a notch. Have had may fractures but now not so much, doctor would need to prescribe.
Hoping to get off Actonel. Have asked if eating a carnivore diet will help to reverse osteoporosis.
@@junehouge1276 let me know how that goes, please. I have gone to a keto diet ( for anti inflammatory reasons) and it has helped me a lot with pain management. Still have been fracture free but might be due to avoiding avoiding some risky situations. Then being retired and only doing what I want to do helps too. Stay safe and stay healthy, blessings.
Please keep me updated as well. Actonel is my doc’s drug of choice. I am back on it after a six-year holiday. She wants me to take it for two years-until my next Dexascan. Metabolic health is very important to living, especially as we age.
WHAT... 15 mins of sunshine gives me 49 days of Vit D. That rocks! Thanks!
That's a blanket statement that does not ring true for everyone. Factors like where you live (Florida vs. say Chicago) - your weight, your skin tone, how your body absorbs Vitamin D, your age.....lots of factors to take into consideration - so check with your doctor! One person in my town can take 1000 daily, while another needs 2000 daily. Each person absorbs things differently. Get a blood test from your healthcare provider and check your D levels.
I have heard from numerous valid sources that the countries that consume the most dairy products also have the highest incidences of osteoporosis. The reason is the acidic nature and high protein of dairy. Can you talk about that? Thank you.
Tomatoes and oranges are also highly highly acidic. If this were the case, we’d have an even bigger issue on our hands than just the acidic nature of protein.
What are your so called "valid sources"???
This is a new one on me! So if this is true, what are we all suppose to eat to get the 1000+mg/day everyone needs???? Broccoli? Tofu??
@@andreah6379 kale, chia seeds, collard greens, bok choy, tofu, broccoli
Yes, we were told wrong. Dairy is not good.

Brilliant Q,s and response...best episode yet...helps me understand my condition a lot xxxxx
I can’t believe this guy is talking about milk and yogurt- literally the leading cause of osteoporosis.
Why is that?
Leading cause?
@@bryn2berg Diary products except grass fed organic goat milk does cause osteoporosis because they increase inflammation and deplete vitamin c !
There was a swedish study done showing increased hip fractures.
@@abukarabdirahman7846 is there any way to counter this? Maybe taking vitamin C supplements? Or does it stop or make it hard for you to absorb that vitamin as well as depleting it?
I eat healthy, take supplements, do not drink, do not smoke, and exercise so how da phuck did I get osteopenia at such an early age? Had a fracture and was inactive for while but after getting multiple broken bones need to do something that actually works besides diet and calcium supplements!
Mee too! Stil can't believe it. Only thing I can see might have caused it is not enough time spent in the sun = lack of vitamin d - and stress/not enough sleep. But still 😬
Google Save Our Bones
Pharmacist gave inadequate and inaccurate information re Vit D and calcium. Many variables affect need, dosage.
Egg yolk is high in vitamin K2
you do not make a distinction between vitamin K1 (blood clot promoting) and vitamin K2 (that supposedly promotes uptake of calcium in the bones) ..? Well, you mention both, but the distinction is not all clear
Bob and Brad and Dr Berg (check him out) have improved my life through expert insight and knowledge.....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏and thank you so much Chris for your expertise
But there are studies that show that eating dairy makes the situation even worse. So I think suggesting dairy food is questionable not to mention the fact that taking a lot of calcium can cause you to have hardening of the arteries and kidney stones. Also there are many different forms of calcium and they only mentioned one. So I do appreciate this information but seems like there needs to be a little bit more effort to make it current
I heard taking vitamin K2 keeps calcium out of the bloodstream, where it is harming the cardiovascular system, and returns it to the bones
I was diagnosed with Osteo many years ago and have many breaks. I always did weight baring exercises but recently stopped due to the atmosphere at the gym
Hand weights aren't a great alternative. You need to have proper form or can hurt oneself. I take Fosamax when I remember too.
I only go twice a week now.
The best weight bearing exercise for bones is your own weight walking briskly on a regular basis or walking up a incline/hill or jogging, if you're comfortable with that, again, on a regular basis.
You would find that these exercises being cardio also help ease any depression if you may suffer from the that.
Lifting weights is great for upper body, but bone health is determined in the lumbar spine, and hips.
If you do leg presses, it could help.
Yogurt in particular kefir reduces fractures
Hi I have Hyperparathyroid, I can not take any form of calcium, only can get through diet , until they figure out if I need surgery. I went to a Homeopathic doctor to build bone through minerals and herbs ( Fosamax is toxic and scary)...I have Osteoporosis and age is 55. I have a high PTH level and a high calcium level in my blood...still in process of blood work...doing second Urine analysis. I hope this gets figured out 😔
I heard K2 will pull calcium out of your blood and return it to your bones.
I saw a study 20 years ago that showed milk caused bone loss in 100 women over 100 days whereas nuts seeds n green leafy veg greatly improved it. It was stated that although high in calcium, the protein in milk products needed calcium for absobtion and used all that up so did not deliver it.
what about almond milk? I need my morning latte and cannot survive without it
@@GuitarsAndSynths Almond milk just throws in supplements of calcium. In other words, taking a calcium supplement is the same source.
I was dairy free for pat 13 years and low dairy since my mid 30's. Ate tons of veg--organic whole food since 30-- of various kinds. High plant based/meditteranean gf/df past 13 years. Exercised daily since mid 30's/walked and added yoga 13 years ago. More sedentary than average due to fibro, but exercised every day. Diagnosed at age 61. Get your bones tested at 50!
I am 25, pretty athletic, but I have osteopenia. My way of dealing/reversing with it is by hitting a(very heavy) heavy bag that I had bought. I try to take around 2000mg calcium, 400mg magnesium, 10mg zinc, 200mcg vit K2 (MK7) and a shit ton of vit D
A word of advice from a 67yo with Osteopenia.
It's not a good idea to down a lot of Calcium like you're doing! It can build up in your arteries and give you heart problems or a stroke. You need to get the calcium through the food you eat. That's the safest way. There's different kinds of calcium. Calcium Carbonate is common & difficult to digest and absorb.
Calcium Citrate is better but, again you need the proper foods--not heavy dose pills.
Vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin builds up in your body & too much can be a problem. You don't say how much you take. 2000IU/day should be enough. More than that a day you may be playing with fire.
As far as exercise to ward off bone loss disease, you need weight-bearing exercise like walking up a hill, jogging, weight lifting.
There are lots of exercises that don't build bone.
Do some research. Lots of us as we get older are suffering from fractures, pain, and severe side effects in case you think taking osteoporosis drugs are helpful. They are a nightmare!!
Take better care of yourself now. It pays off later. Believe me.
Vitamin D helps me with depression.
Dose it work
Replaces the sun. Which fights depression.
@@mattymobbs5125 keeps bones strong.
Our friendly neighborhood pharmacist seems to be a little bit behind the times. They are now recommending less calcium for women because that can drive heart attacks because the calcium does not get into the bone but stays in the blood. So for women they're now saying 500 mg a day in a capsule and then plus food of course. He also did not mention boron at all which surprised me. One of the things about K2 is that it does definitely help vitamin d get calcium into the bones but as he said you have to be careful depending on what drugs you're taking and what your personal genetics are.
Was thinking same thing. I was staying away from calcium supplements, but now my dr. told me to take 500mg a day. I take Boron daily also.
I think he is sometimes way off. He really said that 15 minutes outside is worth 49 days of vitamin D. This can't be serious.
And if you take a certain dosis of vitamin D, this doesn't mean that the same dosis ends up in your blood. The real level in your body is important.
Vitamins D is so confusing. I used to take only 1000 a day but was told to take 5000 a day due to no exposure to sun. But if it’s bad for the bones that’s a problem right ? I don’t want to take too much and make my bones worse in the long run. Thank you so much !
I also struggle with D absorption in our long winters. I now take D to help with that.
What should our levels be in vitamin d?
On the vitamin D is that a monthly capsule
There is a study about laser therapy for strengthen the bones with good results.
Thanks for the info but so many other sources say do not take calcium carbonate, as so poorly absorbed? With risks to heart health. Calcium citrate is supposed to be better absorbed ? Would love to hear more on this subject as I have osteopenia and have been offered hrt at 67 yrs old. Not taking yet but considering doing so. Confused.
They told me no on the HRT. You never get consistent answers out of Doctors.
This man was losing height at 50 and someone suggested Boron . He did and one year later bone scan says he has the bones of a 25 year old ! 3 mg a day or you can use borax .
Borax or Boron??
Boron is probably safer than borax. The EU has banned borax due to the potential health risks including organ and lung damage due to ingestion or accidental inhalation respectively. Taking boron may be contraindicated with kidney disease. As stated in the video, it's best to speak with a clinician.
@@celticsunrise8764 I'm pretty sure I bought boron once and it gave me the runs. My stomach is very sensitive:(
@@---nj7hl Supplements can be tricky. My daughter has allergic reactions to certain nutriceuticals. I have to be cautious for other reasons. Sometimes the additives in tablets and capsules can be the issue as well.
@@celticsunrise8764 I agree that's why even some of the "best" supplements I have stomach issues with or am later told that the company was bought out and are not making the stuff with the same clean ingredients per say. Thank you that validates a lot of my hunches:)
I have a compound fracture, both bones below wrist, I now have a metal plate in my wrist.
Hospital said I have soft bones, no follow up.
Bummer, just had 4 kyphoplasty, one more to go next week. change in diet, walking more, plus take vit D3 , k2 and 500 mg calcium every other day.
Also carbonated beverages are known to cause bone loss.
No, only coca cola
What is save our bone program
The calcium in dairy products is very poorly absorbed by the bones.
The people who consume the most dairy are the worst off. Look at the countries where they have very little and their diet is mainly vegetarian with lots of dark green leafy vegetables.
The best supplemental calcium are citrate and glycinate. Other minerals such as boron should also be in a comprehensive formula. And don't forget magnesium (not oxide) is needed also.
Do Ardis says to use 5,000 - 10,000 mcg. He says that you can't take too much.
My doctor prescribed me 600,000 iu once a WEEK ft Osteoprosis (of spine _3.5 bmd)..having osteopenia too.plz reply if it is right thing
Confusing - my calcium is 11 - I have osteoporosis
So, as a medical professional, calcium is not the main thing that will cause or prevent osteoporosis. This was a red flag for me in watching the rest of the video. The keys to actually preventing osteoporosis are to NOT smoke, to stop drinking alcohol and to stay active! You cannot eat or take calcium and make a huge difference! Frankly, most Americans ingest too much calcium.
@@newlife8318 The problem usually is not intaking enough calcium. Calcium is naturally in many foods, and many others have been fortified with it. It is usually the lack of vitamin d, without vitamin d your body won't be able to use the calcium you intake. There aren't many food sources that have vitamin d (canned salmon with bones and egg yolks), so a person either needs to get their 15 minutes of sun exposure or supplement with vitamin d. There are also certain groups of people who are more likely to have hypocalcemia: vegans, chronic steroid use, those with IBS or celiac disease.
did all the "right" things and still diagnosed at age 61. women need to test early-well before menopause and no where they stand so they can start working on it while they can still build bone!
k2--learn more about it. It's very different from k1
Yes it is. He made it sound like K2 was a blood thinner. It isn't.
I want to know when I was 40 years old I was doing lot of cycling then after my knee bones started paining so badly, now I have same problem now I am 50 years old, I am doing 3000 skipping and other workouts till 4 hours but my pain is not going, Is it a bone loss?
Skipping should be a great exercise for bone remodelling. If you are doing weight training, that could be good too depending on how you are doing it. Would suggest getting to the doctor … bone loss is definitely happening just because of your age, but the pain could be arthritis or other problem. Doctor should help with the diagnosis. However, you might also be overdoing the exercise. Would suggest a qualified physical therapist to monitor your exercise program once you’ve seen a doctor to try to work out if there’s another problem.
What about MK7
Thanks and God Bless!
Were you saying E or D for 1000?
