\r\n \r\n Ostelin is an Australian product, I don\'t believe they have it in America. 500 i.u. of Vitamin D and 1,500 mg of calcium carbonate per tablet.

\nCalcium is essential for healthy teeth and bones, but its main job is to regulate heartbeat. It is also involved in hundreds of other functions in the body.
\nIt works in synergistic effect with magnesium. Flooding the system with calcium, without adding magnesium, is going to create a chronic magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is essential for heart health. Hence these scientists finding these calcium heart scare results.
\n
\nIf needing a supplement, one should stick to an Osteo supplement, which will contain Cal:Mg in balance, and Vitamin D, with zinc, copper and usually boron as well.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thankyou, knightofalbion,pinballdoctor, and mommysunshine for your helpful replies.
\r\nI do have a glass of warm water first thing every morning with apple cider vinegar with the mother in it, and take vit c as well.
\r\nI did this https://www.osteoporosis.ca/index.php...55/la_id/1.htm
\r\n calculator and it said congratulations you are doing the right thing and I was 30 points above recomended dose for my age, And the last blood test I had 2 months ago fell within the range, so hopefully I won\'t have to take extra supplement.\r\n

\r\n \r\n That supplement your doctor has mentioned is trash. Dont take it.

\r\n \r\n Your bodies ability to utilize calcium propery is the function of a multifacted metabolic process. No one single aspect can do it alone. Exercise and proper nutrition and a good digestive tract are required.

\r\n \r\n I hope your wrist is better ozzie. I had a bone scan years ago, and was diagnosed with Osteopenia, the prelude to Osteoporosis. My doctor wanted me to greatly increase my calcium intake.
\n
\nHowever, I was reading about the problems that too much calcium can cause, as far as arterial blockage, etc. So, instead, I eliminated any additional calcium supplements and just started taking vitamin k2, magnesium and D3.
\n
\nI haven\'t been back for another x-ray, since I rarely see doctors anymore. In my opinion, I feel that I\'d rather have a broken hip than a major paralyzing stroke, like my poor father in law had before he passed.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I had frozen shoulder about 2 years ago. It\'s scar tissue and has nothing to do with calcium buildup or bones.
\n
\nFrom what I read about it at the time and from what my doc said, frozen shoulder was mostly associated with low thyroid, autoimmune disorder, and diabetes.
\n
\nYes, high calcium blood levels are associated with cardiac risk. It was a calcium test that was abnormal that got my husband to sit up and finally take notice and go to the doc. He managed to miss any heart attack -' + '- but not the bypass.
\n
\nThe high calcium level is often associated with deficiency in other minerals (potassium and magnesium? I would have to look to say for certain which ones) so if you\'re worried about high calcium levels maybe check out what\'s going on with your other minerals as well?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thanks kind2creatures my wrist is feeling much better thanks , cast comes off in 3 weeks.
\r\nI don\'t think I will take any extra supplements as my calcium is already within the normal range.
\r\nSorry toread about your poor father inlaw, passing away after breaking his hip.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Thanks Gnomenclature, I think my frozen shoulder was associated with my diabetes, I will have another look at my blood results taken about 2 months ago, and check on the other minerals but as far as I remember they were all within the normal limits.
\r\nI have just noticed our son has a little video clip on his Bowen Therapy website explaining what frozen shoulder is, very interesting, If you like to look up northsidebowentherapy on facebook if you are a member, you should be able to see the video clip sent in by Harry Williams.\r\n

\r\n \r\n He didn\'t break his hip, but he had a major stroke due to clogged arteries. The doctor said his main carotid artery in his neck was 99% blocked at the time of his stroke. He took oyster shell calcium supplements, and I suspect those did not help his condition.\r\n

\r\n <!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n

\r\n \r\n Scar tissue? Clogged arteries? Sounds like a job for our 2 favorite heroes, the proteolytic enzymes of serrapeptase and nattokinase.
\n
\nFrozen shoulder has several causes unfortunately for anyone trying to diagnose. Diabetes, thyroid, cardiac diseases, Parkinson\'s, and even scar tissue as gnomenclature says. That\'s why one of the things I would try is serrapeptase, which is known for removing excess proteins and dissolving scar tissue, and help with inflammation. I would also add ashwagandha, which helps to improve nerve function, helps the body to adapt to physical stress, nourishes all body tissues and joints, treats digestive disorders, increases the amount of hormones secreted by the thyroid gland (take a break after a couple of months). Ashwagandha is an excellent adaptogen.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I read that ashwagandha should not be taken in those with "excess ama". Here is an excellent page with further info.

\nWhat is your opinion on any of this?\r\n

\r\n \r\n If you know you have excess ama, you have a bigger problem to deal with than calcium build-up This may even be a cause of your calcium build-up. You have a digestive problem. Ashwagandha may not be the only herb to avoid. I would recommend digestive bitters for a while first. It if is excessive, you may want to visit an aryuvedic practitioner, especially if you can\'t manage it yourself. But the possible causes of frozen shoulder indicate that ashwagandha would be best. In this, I\'m only addressing frozen shoulder.
\n
\nCalcium build-up could very well indicate that other minerals are deficient. For example, magnesium is a calcium antagonist. You could be deficient in mag. This could also indicate a digestive problems. Zinc and vitamin B are required for good stomach acid maintenance. Digestive bitters are indicated here as well.\r\n
