STOP Taking Calcium Supplements (What to Know) 2024

In full agreement with you Dr Berry. Been trying to tell my family forever. Haven't drunk milk since I was 2. Im 59. I told them, humans are the only "critter" to drink milk past infancy. Good gracious...Adult cows MAKE milk, but do not drink it. They eat their greens. Not a Dr or RN. A retired CNA, with a little common sense. Loving your videos.

Dr Berry, what about growing kids? Can they have it?

Can you please speak to a study that linked fosamax to ‘glass bones’ which appeared more dense but actually reduced bone autophagy and growth of new bone making them like glass and more prone to osteoporosis and fracture!!!! I dont know where i read it! It was alarming and thst is how i began to understand the difference between bone strength and bone density…started weight baring exercise and walking/sprinting and no more calcium supplements which i also later read mess up tie acidity in the stomach neutralizing that very necessary high acid balance and affecting ones digestive tract! I learned acidity in the stomach is very necessary for digestion and when we also ‘treat indigestion again with an antacid (check the labels folks it calcium citrate!!) we are prolonging and making indigestion, heart burn and more worse!!!!

Thank you for your channel. Im turning 69 and have been eating keto and with a lot of red meat, fish and pork etc, now since 2018…. So far better than just good. ❤

what about people with pounding heart and/or high pulse rate??? what good is strong bones if we're not getting calcium for the contraction of the heart??? Please advise??? Where is our calcium supposed to come from? Will the body take it out of the arteries and help the fast heart rate?? Also , beware, Keto Chow has 750 mg. Calcium per serving,

What’s different about walking briskly on the treadmill or outside?

❤Thank you thank you thank you so much for this video❤ I believe it just answered a lot of the questions my family has been struggling with regarding my mother and her kidney stones that almost just killed her because of becoming septic

I believe there's a lot of Truth in this. I have always said that the only thing that should be drinking cow's milk or baby cows that we were never meant to consume cow milk in the first place. Also my mother has preached about taking calcium in my entire life and she takes it religiously and drinks tons of milk and she just got out of the hospital for the second time with kidney stones this time she ended up being septic and almost died. I don't think it was a coincidence that I stumbled across this video and now I believe that all her years of drinking tons of milk and taking calcium religiously contributed to her kidney stones

What about yoghurt?

Planet Ayurveda Coral Calcium Complex is actually a result giving product. Feeling Blessed.

Good to know. And I have had a kidney stone...they are right, it was VERY painful. Ironically though, mine went from my kidney to my bladder, and I went to the doc about it and he said to NOT drink any dark colas. Drink citrus. Lemon or Orange juice. He told me to come back in a week and they will use lasers to break it up. I did that and when they looked for it, it was GONE. I don't drink milk much anymore.

should we take collagen supps

My doctor just told me to take calcium daily to prevent osteoporosis. Thank goodness I know better.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

THANH YOU FOR YOUR HELP

I have read claims that if you do take calcium supplements to take vitamin D3 and vitamin MK 7 as mk7 is called a "traffic controller" that directs the calcium to your bones. I studied this for 2 weeks and all info on the internet says the same thing but, be sure you also use Vitamin D3 . So, what's the real truth.? I do agree on weight bearing exercises for sure .

I was about to buy calcium supplement. thanks dr for the info

Is this true for herbal calcium supplements? I've been taking Natures Sunshine Herbal calcium for years...

@KenDBerryMD Hi Dr Berry, In your video about eggshells you talk about the benefits of eating eggshells. But Eggshells have a huge ammont of Calcium Carbonate. Could you comment on this apparent contradiction, since you mention here on the dangers of Calcium supplementation? thanks a lot!!!

I give up on all you money, hungry scam artist!! none of you really know!! another podcast says weights don’t build muscles.. another says all you need is vegetables!! Somebody else says calcium does a body good 😂 well I think all of you are competing with each other for the business

Great video this video left me with another question. Is dairy Kefir really any good for us to be drinking?

I was just told today to take calcium supplements because my Dexa scan showed osteoporosis.

A few years ago, I learned from a video, the importance of vitamin K (MK7) as a way to prevent calcium from depositing in the blood vessels. No doctor ever told me to take vitamin K nor ever warned me that calcium supplements could cause harmful deposits in my arteries and kidneys, but they certainly recommended I take calcium for osteopenia. Nobody prescribed exercise, either, but I was a runner at the time. Well, I have now progressed to osteoporosis and refuse to take bisphosphonates. I will toss my brand-new bottle of Citracal in the trash, continue taking the MK7, D3, magnesium and possibly add potassium to the mix, as well as do impact and weight bearing exercise in addition to my regular cardio workouts. Thank goodness a CT Calcium Scoring test last year scored 0. If not for that MK7 video, I wonder...

Dr. Berry women take calcium because as soon as they hit 40 their gynecologist insists they start a calcium with vitamin D supplement to support bone health.

This logic makes no sense. Other mammals don’t drink milk as adults because it isn’t available to them. They don’t drink alcohol either! By same logic other mammals also don’t take Vitamin D supplements either! Forget milk, what about calcium rich foods? Are you saying we shouldn’t be eating those either? Where would we get calcium from?

While I am not saying that calcium supplements aren’t causing harm you don’t mention specific calcium supplements. What about Calcium lactate which seems to be easily converted and absorbed?

What weight lifting exercise would you recommend?
Thanks

Full of shit: "Dead Doctors Don't Lie"!

I wonder about this, then; My mom hated milk & never drank it or ate yogurt. Her hip just broke upon standing up (age 84) & did die at 86 with osteoporousis but no other illness. She went to bed after having a mild stroke & died 3 months later.

HOW ABOUT EGG SHELL POWDER? YOU PREVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED IT.

This video is approx 6 years old; you also have a video about eating egg shells (not sure when that was posted on YT). Do you still eat egg shells? Is there a metabolic difference between calcium supplements and egg shell powder? Thanks for helping me resolve what seems like conflicting info.

@KenDBerryMD ... What about people with severe Achlorhydria?
Are they an exception to this rule?

Dr Berry, 4 yrs ago I had to have 3 and a half parathyroid removed. I had Osteopenia and after surgery - low blood calcium ever since. My endocrinologist has me taking 1200 mg of plant based calcium with D3 and Kt & Magnesium daily. Last bone scan this year showed no more osteopenia, my nails no longer split. Blood Calcium normal. My only problem - my blood pressure has gone up. Averaging 140's / 90's with same BP medication. It did not occur to me that this could be related to the calcium supplement. Will talk to my doctor. Thank you.

Howmuch calcium do you need per day

The milk correlation does not eliminate that they may be on westernized diet as well. Raw milk has been consumed for ages around the world.

Your are really good human being, calcium , gone stop taking it

What about AlgaeCal?

It is a whole food and natural?

They, health care professionals, are still telling us to take calcium supplements if we have a low bone density score!!! 2024

my doctor did my blood panel last week and for the second time she's wants me to take calcium. What should I do instead?

I think a lot of children,s gummie vitamins are crap. Children just need proper diet.

Thank you. My sister is a nurse and she told me I should take calcium pills. I tried them and they make me feel ill. I think I,m allergic to them. I drink milk and she doesn t. Milk agrees with me
Not calcium pills.

I think the most important thing for any older adult is Hormones. For men testosterone and strength training, for women bio identical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone injections. I am 67. I started bioidentical Hormones in my early 50s after reading Dr Wiley books, Suzanne somers books, Oprah did research, Robin McGraw. California is ahead of other states in this. Immediately I felt better. I don't have heart issues other than hypertension which runs in my family. Cholesterol good, no diabetes. Yes I do drink milk because I enjoy it. Whether it's important or not. One glass of milk won't kill me. Cheese won't kill me. If we listened to everyone's opinion we would be starving. All the u tube Dr's never mention the importance of hormones and how crucial they are to our bodies. That's it. Jillian ( Registered Nurse)

Unfortunately for me calcium supplement with vitamin D3 is the only thing that relieves my nightly leg cramps. Magnesium didn’t do anything for me.

Thanks

Take a D suppl
Don't take calcium suppl don't drink milk
Do weight bearing exercises... brisk walk etc and weights

Thank you, Dr. Barry. I am in complete agreement with you. You are such a blessing.

My wife has been on 50,000 iu of vitamin d for 2 months, now they wanna start her on calcium, I’m gonna get her to watch this.

my dr still recommends a supplement when you don't get 1200mg from food. and who could get 1200 from food.

What is the supplement of vit D3 and K2 and magnesium has calcium in it? Is it just the calcium pills that are harmful or should we not take any kind of supplement with calcium in it?

Two quick questions.
1. Is a calcium supplement based on an algae source ok or not?
2. Are yogurt and cheese also a no-no, along with milk?

What about calcium citrate to bind oxalates as told by sally nortan? Does that also cause health problems?
