Calcium: Facts, Health Benefits & Risks - Dr. Gary Sy

Calcium is an important nutrient that your body needs for many basic functions. Calcium is important for bone health throughout your life. Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Although diet is the best way to get calcium, calcium supplements may be an option if your diet falls short. Before you consider calcium supplements, be sure you understand how much calcium you need, the pros and cons of calcium supplements, and which type of supplement to choose.

Hello doc! Very well said doc thanks! I am 69 y/o, have osteoporosis and have been taking medications like Actonel before but since 2017 I’ve been taking Allendronate. Every year I have bone density but still I have osteopororis and my primary doctor told me to stop taking them since last Jan, 2022 for it’s been 5 yrs of me taking them. So she recommends me to take Calcium supp but it upsets my stomach cause I have acid reflux so I stop taking it too. Recently I had fracture on my left leg while walking never tripped or fall. I had surgery currently “nagpapagaling” sa bahay. It’s my first week home after surgery. Visiting nurses and PT visit me twice a week so far! It is very painful po doc. Anyway thank you so much for all your advices! Cheers from las vegas!
