    Milky Questions

    Is it possible to interfere with normal levels of vit D with too much calcium from dairy? In the same way that low calcium intake leads to low vit D, wouldn't high calcium intake have the same effect? Or the excess is just easily excreted? I assume it can also interfere with the absorption of...

    Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, and Zinc Types and Dosages

    There's a great deal of information on this site that concerns minerals, but a wide variety of different dosages for each substance. Haidut provides a lot of helpful studies that translates to calculable dosages, but there' still a lot of ambiguity. Dosages for the following: - Calcium (35...

    Calcium carbonate, citrate and phosphate

    Hi all, Is anyone aware of the possible pros and cons of each form? Most people that have recipes for eggshell calcium, or other forms of powdered calcium carbonate, do the additional step of letting it react with citric acid in citrus fruit for some time before taking it. Blossom made me aware...

    Does High Calcium Intake Deplete Zinc?

    There have been a couple of posts recently along the lines that "the Peat diet" was low in zinc and that high calcium intake would deplete zinc. So I decided to check what information I could find about it. My conclusion: A diet that contains adequate animal proteins from milk, eggs, and...

    Calcium From Rolaids

    I'm trying to get some calcium from rolaids, but I'm not sure how much calcium is really in one tablet. First it says http://www.drugs.com/otc/127121/rolaids ... -mint.html that it has ***USP calcium carbonate and then lower on the label it says each tablet contains like 270mg calcium. Which...

    Calcium-D-Glucarate. Potential Anti-estrogen?

    I have been looking for anti-estrogen supplements, since I have some estrogenic symptoms that are hard to get rid off. Like for instance puffiness and swelling, fatigue, etc. I have tried the typical recommended anti-estrogens, like thyroid and progesterone, yet they don't help this issue. I...

    Why Ray Recommends Eating Lots Of Calcium

    This is certainly only one reason, but given how important for metabolism it is I thought it is worth mentioning. Calcium activates the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), which takes the pyruvate produced by glycolysis, converts it to Acetyl-Co-A and thus starts the Krebs cycle. Calcium also...

    Supplementing Chelated Calcium after exercise?

    I have a calcium supplement that contains a 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio with Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate / Oxide. Is this an ideal form (and more importantly, a safe form) to use on days when I'm out of dairy and leafy greens / bony fish aren't supplying much Ca that day? I can...

    Supplementing Eggshell Calcium to Inhibit Iron?

    For some reason this never occurred to me. But just reading some of the threads about calcium, and how taking about 1/4 teaspoon eggshell calcium x3 per day yields about 2000mgs... Often when I have meat it is inconvenient to have coffee or tea. Whereas popping a little capsule of eggshell...

    Eggshell Calcium and Ca:P balance

    Even though there are many opened threads about Ca : p balance and Eggshell Calcium, I thought that if I posted this link on those it might get lost: http://catcentric.org/nutrition-and-foo ... cats-diet/ ps.: the cool chart on this page is the last one, where you can compare the Ca : p ratios...

    Overdoing it on the calcium?

    Hi all, recently I've noticed hard callouses appearing on my my fingers and a sort of wart on my knuckle, I say sort of as it has the shape of one but it's a hard white scab on the front of it which doesn't seem to be healing. In addition to this I have suffered with a great deal of hair loss...

    Ok To Mix Calcium Carbonate + Magnesium Carbonate ?

    Dear all, I sometimes use magnesium carbonate at night. It helps replenishing my magnesium levels, with all the well known benefits. Or at least some. I'm wondering if I can take calcium carbonate at the same time as magnesium carbonate. Will they compete for absorption or something I have to...

    Chlorine And It's Role In Excessive Sweating With Cold Extremities, Iodine, Calcium, And Magnesium D

    So I posted the other day about cold beverages, but I've changed my mind (I was often taking drinks of milk or soda after showering, and so thought it was the beverages). I have noticed this pattern that every time I take a shower (and I take long, hot showers to warm up), my extremities get...

    Interesting Peat Quote About Calcium

    "When there is adequate calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium in the diet, PTH is kept to a minimum. When PTH is kept low, cells increase their formation of the uncoupling proteins, that cause mitochondria to use energy at a higher rate, and this is associated with decreased activity of the fatty...

    How Much Calcium Is Too Much Calcium?

    According to cronometer I'm getting around 3,000 mg of calcium a day from diet. I'd like to take an extra 500mg in eggshell calcium to get my calcium:phosphorus ratio up closer to 1.3:1. Would that be excessive in terms of calcium ingested per day - 3,500 mg?

    KMUD: Phosphate And Calcium Metablolism (2012)

    I've paraphrased and reworded some stuff from callers and interviewers because they make their statements hideously long for what they're actually saying and provide little useful info. All of Peat's words are 100% as heard, this transcript is unverified but should be almost all correct, feel...
