Lokzo hi, are you still taking calcium ? Why did you opted for calcium supplement vs adding dairy back ?
I no longer use the calcium supplements. I do have dairy every now and then. I did feel good initially with calcium supps, and then drop off.

Lokzo hi, are you still taking calcium ? Why did you opted for calcium supplement vs adding dairy back ?
So, after many years (4) of dropping all dairy from my diet, I decided to look into the RDI for calcium.
I quickly began to realize that the RDI was 1000mg for a Adult, Male. I am sure this would be higher for someone who exercises very intensely (me).
Doing some basic maths I noticed that I would never be getting anywhere near this amount on a daily basis.
There appears to be not many whole-food based calcium rich foods, apart from Sardines, Soy (Would never ingest this shi*), and a few others.
So I started trialing out a calcium powder at approx. 1500mg daily.
Noticeable effects (Within 5 days):
-Insanely less mental chatter
-Strong focus/ANTI-ADHD properties
-Stronger libido
-Increased vascularity
-Better sleep
-CALMNESS (You would think the opposite)
Now clearly I have had blood tests to prove that I am indeed NOT deficient in calcium, since I understand that the body can easily maintain homeostasis via pulling calcium from the bones.
How do you respond to calcium?
How many mg do you aim for per day?
Inflammation is the body trying to achieve something. You can reduce it by limiting salt, consuming PUFA etc. since they reduce immune system activity.I notice the same with calcium. Very calming. I dropped dairy a year ago and have been craving ice cream like a mother. Calcium has always been the prime ingredient for healthy bowel movements as well. On the other hand, I noticed inflammation go away when dropping milk.
Let's hope this is long term. I started extra calcium supplements myself, reading about you guys.Is it possible some individuals need more calcium than others?
like i started supplementing calcium. Around 300mg and i noticed profound affects. Very calm. Adrenaline down. Way down. Like is this what ive been missing for so long?
Hey Lucas, how do you achieve your daily recommended calcium? Do you still avoid calcium supplements?I no longer use the calcium supplements. I do have dairy every now and then. I did feel good initially with calcium supps, and then drop off.

That is what I use. I use double wood magnesium Malate. And always a little Boron with as well.
It absorbs really well. Where as calcium carbonate and citrate don’t.Does it cause constipation?
