I hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Cooperman. You can find the full blog post here: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/
pro tip : you can watch movies on KaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Karsyn Mayson Yea, have been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself =)
Thank you for the interview Margaret. I'm still not clear on the calcium labelling. Please clarify for me. My Calcium supplement says Calcium (HVP Chelate) 500mg, then in brackets underneath that it says (100mg elemental calcium). So how much calcium is my body actually getting, 500mg or 100mg?
Doctors (or my doctor) told me to take 600 units of Ca in the morning and 600 in the evening along with Vit D3. I have osteopenia. There is so much contradictory info online and from docs.
Good job with the follow up questions- excellent clarification! Thank you for such an informative piece.
Thank you for this video with Dr. Cooperman as it was quite helpfully. Vitamins can be very confusing so thanks again for the clarifications
Excellent information. I've been searching for calcium and osteoporosis information. So much conflict in the internet world! I will watch this again.
Thanks. You can read the full blog post here: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/
Great video. I was unaware that taking my vitamin D and K together is not a great idea. I will be sure to take them at intervals now. Thank you for all the great information.
That was a fantastic video! I learned so much from Dr. Todd! So happy you asked him so many valuable questions, some of which I would have asked! Thanks again!
You are welcome. Glad you like the video.
I love his videos and we go to consumer lab alot to check products before we make a purchase. 😊👍
This was incredibly fascinating! Thank you so much for doing this interview and a big thanks to Dr. Cooperman for being willing to share this information. I have a huge respect for him!
You are welcome. Thank you
Great help from this interview. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for this video. Enormously helpful :-)
Thank you. Glad you found it informative.
Excellent. Thank you so much both.
Excellent interview covering all the bases. Maybe another with a nutritionist that can help us get what we need from food alone, or mostly. In the 70 + age bracket. I encourage everyone to view all your videos and books.
Ruth
Thanks so much for this video. Excellent 👍👍
You’re welcome. Glad you like it.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative!!!👌
Glad it was helpful!
Please more like this. Update this for 2020 if values have changed? Many many thanks....
I keep the following blog post up-to-date on this topic. Thanks. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/
Please discuss with Dr.
You briefly mentioned Algae Cal. Only related to Iron. ,Wished you discussed what the studies are for Algae calcium supplements.
Thank you -I learned more about best ways to take some of these supplements.
Has Algaecal let go of their lead yet ?
Wow this is really informative about the D3 and K2.
Glad you found it informative.
@@margaretmartinpt if someone needs calcium in their diet bone broth is the best way.
Thank you for conducting and posting this important interview Margaret. Why do they sell K and D combos if one cancels the other? Geesh, and I buy (what I think) are good brands. Why are my medical practitioners always pushing me to take 1200 mg a day? I don't because I've heard about it ending up where it shouldn't. The head of Consumer Lab doesn't really take many supplements - that is a red flag for me. I've been taking less supplements recently as well. It's all disconcerting to me. Thanks again.
You are welcome. Thanks for following.
General practitioners are too busy keeping up with their everyday workloads to research everything, so they parrot off the supplement figures fed to them by the commercial "health supplies" businesses that target them.
What about MCHA calcium?
Is Algea calcium causing blood vessels blockage due to calcium? If so will turn to K2 as I view your other videos, thanks
I'm taking Garden of Life Grow Bone
Supplement for my osteoporosis it says it has calcium occurring naturally from algae and at the bottom of the box it says AgaeCal Raw I think that's the company , do I have to stop taking this supplement??? It's very hard to find a good one like this one because this one not only has calcium but it has other vitamins and minerals for bones , Garden of Life is said to be a good brand isn't it? But now I'm worried about lead ☹️
My BoneUp by Jarrow does say (Elemental)??
Also, what about calcium added to nut milk? If nut milk heated, does the calcium weaken? Thank you!
I was advised to buy calcium that says "chelated" what does it mean? very very interesting information. Thank you
www.healthline.com/nutrition/chelated-minerals
I have bone calcium in my ears loss of hearing its accumulating in there and not on my bones have been diagnosed Osteoporosis. Been taking VD3,VK7,2 for awhile. CAN you guide me on what else could I do to reverse all. So glad I found you. Most recently it fact.
Is shark cartledge ok to take if diagnosed with Osteoporosis
Vitamin D and fats and bile for absorption....what about for people who don't have a gallbladder?
Please let me know.
Like Sue asked below, is getting calcium from soy or even almond milk beneficial or not? Thank you!
Hi Karen. Calcium that is added to food is the same as taking it in supplements. You can take it but just be careful with the overall quantity of calcium you are taking from multiple sources. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/#cl-added
@@margaretmartinpt thank you Margaret. I love your e-book osteoporosis exercises btw and have recommended to quite a few people.
The calcium in nut milk is synthetic so not good. What’s worse is that nut milks contain seed oils. Avoid seed oils at all costs.
What supplement do you recommend for building bone density? I am now so confused as what to take.
I would like to know that as well as I'm supposed to have knee surgery soon and my bone density was very bad a year ago. Having another one soon I've been on a drug called Prolia which has wrecked my body. I took two doses I won't take another
Weight bearing exercise or movement of any kind, along with a good diet, is the best thing to build bone density.
Very helpful info, thankyou. So I drink calcium fortified soy milk with 300mg calcium, is this no good? I cannot eat dairy as it's cruel to animals
Hi Sue. Calcium that is added to food is the same as taking it in supplements. You can take it but just be careful with the overall quantity of calcium you are taking from multiple sources. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/#cl-added
I understand priority to get vitamin should be from food, but we have been told time and time again that our soils have been depleted from essential nutrients. That’s the reasoning behind supplementation.
Now I’m confused! Recently I’ve been learning that you SHOULD take vitamin K2 with vitamin D3 for better absorption.
Hi Lisa. My apologies for the confusion. I discuss the issue you rais in my blog post: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/#Vitamin_D3_and_K2
I’ve been told that as well K2 D3 together. I take both in one capsule
I was just going to ask this very same question ! I had found out that vitamin D 3 should always be taken in conjunction with K 2 !
Same! My integrative MD has me taking a high quality brand that has both D3 and K2. Confusing!
This video was very informative, however I'm now concerned because after being diagnosed with osteoporosis I was advice by my physician to take Calcium 1200mg a day.. Is that too much calcium?
No that’s what I was told as well. Take 500 milligrams every 4-5 hours. Pair with magnesium or Vitamin D to help absorb.
Please how can get an appointment for osteoporosis test? I live in New York.
Hi Peterson. I assume that you are referring to the Bone Mineral Density test? If so, you should contact your physician and request the examination. The American College of Radiologists (ACR) publishes a directory of ACR-accredited facilities qualified to conduct DEXA scans.
You can read about the BMD and DEXA here: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-prevention/bone-density-test-preparation/
i have receding gums , my front tooth is loose , my bone that my tooth is on is degenerating... (osteoporosis of the face ) my diet changed about 2 months ago NO sugar no junk foods etc. and now im taking collagen and vitamin d3 k2 and for calcium i take ground up egg shell into a powder... is there anything im missing?
That's interesting you're taking ground up egg shell for the calcium. It has proven to be a much higher source of natural dietary calcium, and better absorbed into bones, than any of the calcium supplements. But we don't hear much about its benefits because everyone has been trained to take things in pills they get from a pharmacist.
Yes, you’re missing vit c. If you have gingivitis or periodontitis, you have… shock horror… scurvy. Taking vit c will help build collagen. You must also take ReMag and ReMyte (trace minerals). You don’t need extra calcium but ground up egg shells are so much better than synthetic calcium supplements or additives to food.
Also, do oil pulling, stop using commercial toothpaste and rub neem oil into your gums. Good luck.
I am really enjoying your videos as I've just learned I have osteoporosis and am working to balance my exercise, nutrition and supplements. A question on taking vitamin D with a "fatty meal". What would be an example of a "fatty meal"? I'm assuming you mean something like salmon with good omega oils vs. something like pasta with lots of carbs? Also, you discussed types of calcium and vitamins but didn't get into "gummies" which are so prevalent on the shelves these days. Do they work as well as capsules? Thanks for all your great information!
Dr Cooperman explains that a fatty food is one that "gets the juices flowing" . An example would be meat (not lean). I can't really comment on gummies. You might want to checkout Dr Cooperman's website for reviews of specific supplements. Thanks.
Fatty is any kind of fat, oil is a fat, animal products, which I don’t eat have fats…they are not good fats though.
I'm 36 years old male few months ago i was diagnosed with osteopenia this video is very useful. There are different types of Calcium supplements the one to avoid is calcium carbonate because it's basically a limestone rock and very poorly absorbed by the body it puts body at an increased risk of heart attack and also the issue of kidney stones so calcium citrate malate is better form to take
Yes. I've been taking the wrong kind. I'm going today and getting the right kind.👍
I have researched that calcium carbonate and calcium supplements in general causes kidney stones, and heart attacks. I was hoping this would be addressed.
Look into borax (boron), an essential trace mineral that has been neglected. It is said that it helps with the proper placement of calcium in the body.
Yes, shame it wasn't. I was shocked that they cause plaque in heart arteries. The cardiologist said to quit the calcium supplements!
You are right. The best supplement you can take is the combo of RNAReset ReMag and ReMyte. It’s liquid gold.
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis about three years ago. As a male it came as a surprise! My spine has fractured in my sleep four times since then.
I'm prescribed Acrete D3, Alendronic acid and get testosterone injections every three months.
I've been told to try K2, but isn't that what Alendronic acid is for - to direct the D3 to the bones? Would it be advisable for me to look for K2 supplements or would it affect the Alendronic acid?
What the doctor said about it lowering your stomach acid. Could that explain my noisy guts after I eat? This is something I've noticed recently, but maybe I'm not ingesting things properly? So many questions arising from osteoporosis. Apparently there have been 10k recent diagnosis' of men with osteoporosis in the northeast of England alone.
Hi Bob. I suggest you check out my blog post on Vitamin K2. It should help answer your questions. Thanks. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
@@margaretmartinpt Thank you. I added a question re noisy guts, could you respond please? Really grateful for your help. Going to check out your link immediately.
@@bobburton3982 I am not familiar with "noisy guts". Thanks
@@margaretmartinpt Oh well, thanks anyway. Appreciate your responses x
@@bobburton3982
How old are you?
Dr. Cooperman states you wouldn't want to take vitamin K while you are taking vitamin D. One of the supplements I take is a combination of K2 + D3.
I have heard they work better together! There is such contradiction out there. you don't know what is correct.
He meant "at the same time", so they should be taken some hours apart, because they are digested on the same pathways.
@ABRAHAM NUTRITION I have also heard from very reputable sources that D3+K2 work better together. Not sure I agree with this doctor on many subjects. I’ll stick with info from more reliable sources.
What about the fact that calcium supplements cause calcifications (plaque) in heart arteries?
K2 directs the calcium into your bones where it's needed.
@@ploppy193 So what? It still causes plaque in the arteries. I don't understand your answer. What good is having strong bones if you've got blocked heart arteries?
@@cockamamy Vitamin K2 prevents calcium from settling in your vessels, and at the same time helps calcium to be absorbed into your bones
@@Tania-.-.- That's interesting, thank you!
@@ploppy193 sorry, I understand now what you were saying.
GREAT INTERVIEW!
HOWEVER I WOULD BE CAREFUL TAKING NUTRITION OR SUPPLEMENT ADVICE FROM TODD COOPERMAN.
TODD COOPERMAN TEST SUPPLEMENTS, HE'S NOT AN EXPERT IN NUTRITION!
Good point, makes sense.
I disagree. Dietician can be wrong. This guy gave me information I needed. Remember when they told us to eat pasta because it was fat free?
I once drank orange juice containing calcium, and had a dizzy-spell and heart rate increase. I will NEVER drink it again!
Probably a good idea.
Is collagen helpful for osteoporosis?
Collagen plays an important part in bone mass. Collagen supplementation may help improve bone mass density and slow osteoporosis.
Collagen is a protein found throughout the body. It supports many essential processes, including bone formation.
Collagen peptides are a type of animal collagen broken down into a more digestible form. People can take them as a supplement.
Osteoporosis occurs due to bone structure changes and a loss of bone mineral density and bone mass. These changes cause bones to weaken, increasing the risk of fractures.
This article looks at the potential benefits of collagen for osteoporosis. It also discusses osteoporosis treatments and tips for maintaining bone health.
Collagen may benefit people with osteoporosis.
2018 study looked at the effects of specific collagen peptides on bone health in 131 postmenopausal people with reduced bone mineral density.
The researchers measured the effects of taking 5 grams (g) of collagen peptides daily for 12 months, compared with a placebo. They looked at changes in bone mineral density in the femoral neck, which is the area where the thighbone joins the hip bone and the spine.
The results showed that the collagen peptides increased bone mineral density and improved bone markers, indicating a reduction in bone loss and an increase in bone formation.
The researchers followed up the study with another, smaller-scale study in 2021.
It looked at the long-term effects of the same collagen peptides in 31 postmenopausal people. The participants were from the original study’s treatment and placebo groups.
Researchers found that a daily intake of 5 g of collagen peptides over 4 years significantly increased bone mineral density. Participants also experienced no fractures during the 4-year period.
Collagen is a protein the body produces. It is an essential part of many bodily processes. As people age, the body’s ability to produce collagen decreases by around 1% to 1.5% per year.
Collagen peptides appear to support bone health, as collagen is essential to bone mass. Collagen peptides may help with bone mineralization, which is the process that strengthens and hardens bones.
Collagen peptides may also positively affect cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, as the peptides may stimulate the production of elastin and certain collagen types.
Collagen plays an important part in bone development. It helps support processes that allow bone and osteoblasts to form. Osteoblasts are cells required for bone growth.
How to take collagen peptides
People can take collagen peptides as a supplement, often in powder form. People can add the powder to a liquid and drink it. Collagen supplements are also available as capsules and tablets.
There are many types of collagens, but type 1 is the most common in bone, tendons, and ligaments, and type 2 occurs in cartilage.
Collagen peptides come from animals, including cows, pigs, and fish. There is insufficient evidence to know which type of collagen peptide is most beneficial for osteoporosis. The effects may vary by type and across conditions. Manufacturing processes may also alter their effect.
According to a 2019 review, a safe and effective level of collagen supplementation ranges between 2.5 g to 15 g of collagen per day. Research suggests collagen peptides are a generally safe and well-tolerated supplement
Osteoporosis treatments ----------------------
may involve lifestyle changes,
including:
-- Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables
-- Eating sufficient calories for a person’s age, height, and weight
-- Getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and protein
-- Getting regular exercise, including strength and resistance training, but avoiding high impact exercise
-- Avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke
-- Drinking alcohol in moderation, if applicable
-- Attending any regular medical checkups
I have been prescribed supplements (Bitamin 12, calcium, magnesium...etc.). Some are for free sale. I have searched literature regarding the purity of these drugs and can't find anything published in open access. I am a scientist. I would like the companies that make these products to let me know what the quality of their products is and I can't. That is why I must doubt the quality of what they offer until I can access serious published scientific studies. Anyway my grandmother lived pretty well into her 90s and she didn't use "supplements" or break her bones...There wasn't as much environmental pollution as there is now, for sure.
Can you trust these "published scientific studies" even ? Who is funding these studies? Follow the money.
Don't they say the earth is so depleted that there is never enough minerals and calcium in food, is there any difference in calcium that comes or is made from algues from the sea.
Your question is addressed here: th-cam.com/video/Ln5SMPotfhk/w-d-xo.html
Which foods have calcium?
I discuss the major food sources for calcium in my blog post. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/calcium-supplements-for-osteoporosis/
I thought K2 and D3 are sold together as one pi!l?
I am able to purchase them in separate pills.
Not that I’m aware of. They are separate.
Yes, they are usually combined so you get the correct proportion of d3 to k2. Recent studies have showed you can take 25,000 ius per day for best results (unlike the UK Govt’s RDA of 400!!!).
Liquid d3+k2 sprayed under the tongue is more effective than pill form. Always take it with some fat (an avocado or spoonful of coconut oil).
Please discuss with Dr. CHRIS before transmitting this message.
