Tell Me About Vitamin D and Calcium Deficiencies

first of all you are gonna get this question pulled so fast with all those links in it.

second of all, be sure you take your magnesium along with your calcium to absorb it, calcium is like a rock, magnesium is like a rubber band, you want your bones to be a mix of those two elements.

Bone density is also helped by strength-building exercise like running and weight lifting.

I take Calcium plus Vitamin D every night before bed. I had my ovaries removed a year ago, so I have to take it to make sure I don't get early osteoperosis (I'm technically in menopause now at 37). You may want to have your thyroid or hormone levels checked. In the meantime, they sell Calcium plus D supplements you can take. Good luck!

I take Calcium and Vitamin D. I have to. I have broken lots of things, most recently a rib....just getting up from laying down on the couch.
Talk to your doctor. My doctor actually has me taking much more than most people normally would because of my bone density. I'm 48.
I'm thin, had a complete hysterectomy at 33 and have always been pretty active. I walk A LOT. Exercise is really good for you.
I can't drink milk unless there's chocolate in it, but buttermilk is higher in calcium and fortunately, I love buttermilk.
This can be a rough time of year to get it, but as much sunshine as possible helps too.

Google foods that contain vitamin D and calcium. You might be surprised....

I am vit d deficient. It is best to take the supplement with a calcium supplement as it helps with absorption.

I was diagnosed w/a vitamin d deficiency after complaining of extreme fatigue my dr had to prescribe 80,000 IU to get me back on track now I take a daily vit D supplement. You get vit d also from sunlight...I live in Michigan & during the winter months here not so much.

Calcium is in foods such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. Vegetables like broccoli, kale, and Chinese cabbage have calcium. You can get calcium if you eat the soft edible bones in canned sardines and canned salmon. Foods with added (fortified) calcium include some cereals, juices, soy drinks, and tofu. The food label will show how much calcium was added.

Vitamin D is in foods such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel. These are some of the best foods to eat when you are trying to get more vitamin D. Other foods that have vitamin D, but in small amounts, include cheese, egg yolks, and beef liver. You can also get vitamin D from fortified foods such as milk and some cereals, orange juices, yogurts, margarines, and soy drinks. I also suffer from chronic pain & back aches. HTH
