Description
"Calcium Builds Strong Bones"
- Get as much calcium as possible from food. Make up any shortfall with supplements.
- Buy supplements by price. Calcium carbonate is cheapest. If it gives you gas, take smaller doses or switch to another form.
- Look for "USP" on the label.
- Take your supplement with meals to aid absorption.
- Keep taking the supplements. If you stop taking them, any gains in bone strength will fade.
- Get enough vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, especially if you're over 50. Normally your body makes enough D when it's exposed to a little sunlight, but after age 50 your body produces less. Get at least 400 IU a day (that's the amount in a quart of fortified milk or most multivitamin/mineral pills), 800 IU if you're over 65. Some calcium pills also contain D.
- If you are taking thyroid hormones, the antibiotic tetracycline, corticosteroids, or iron pills, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Calcium can interfere with these and some other drugs or minerals.
