In this video, we’re going to talk about the risk of calcium supplements, primarily calcium carbonate.
What is calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate is a form of calcium that’s basically limestone. It’s rocks, and it’s in many of the most popular multivitamin supplements. You would be better off chewing on the rocks outside-it’s not meant for humans.
When you lose stomach acid, your blood pH becomes more alkaline too. When the blood becomes too alkaline, you can’t absorb calcium. Calcium is very alkaline. You need a very acidic stomach and the right blood pH to absorb calcium.
Vitamin D takes the calcium from your stomach and concentrates it into the blood. From the blood, vitamin F takes it into the tissues and bones. If you’re consuming calcium carbonate and excess vitamin D, and you’re not consuming vitamin F, you’re going to have a lot of calcification problems. A good source of vitamin F is flax oil.
Healthy sources of calcium:
• Fermented milk sources (cheese, yogurt, kefir)
• Greens
• Almonds
• Sea kelp

My mother was advised by her doctor for years to take calcium supplements, and 3 years ago she had a stroke. She was always healthy for an eighty years old, ate from home most of the time, lots of veggies and good proteins, plus she went to the gym twice a week. The stroke changed everything, and I always wondered why this happened to her! Now, I have a better understanding! I can't say for sure the calcium supplements caused it, but I do have my doubts.

@johnowens22 7 лет назад

Just think about things and you'll get there. For example: Eat fat, you get fat. We all know this is false. Insulin determines fat storage, not fat. Sugar impacts insulin far more than fat. Now, alkaline: just because you eat alkaline, does that make your body alkaline? And if so, what part of your body is alkaline? Stomach? Sm-Intestine? Lg-intestine? Saliva? Skin? Blood? Ingesting alkaline food doesn't mean you get alkaline. Your ph is determined by your body's homeostatic systems. Blood ph does not change (7.35-7.45) no matter what you eat, or else you'd die. It does affect urine ph, but urine is how your body maintains homeostasis: it excretes whatever you have excess of. This is the way it is supposed to work.

Calcium carbonate is in your drinking water, we humans have been consuming it for thousands of years. It's perfectly safe if you take calcium carbonate with magnesium or vitamin C. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of calcium(and iron) and is in calcium citrate.

@rickytarkowski2490 6 лет назад

Wrong

@TheLeoLitCentral 6 лет назад

Yep...as he mentioned in the video, plants are used to break down rocks which create a mineral for the plant to absorb it. Much of the calcium occurs in the rock-forming mineral called "plagioclase feldspar." Over the years, I've noticed whenever I put rocks underneath my plant pots, I water the plant and similarly the rock/stones provides a rich mineral that really grows the plant. We shouldn't be consuming the rocks or drinking water with calcium carbonate. Several epidemiological investigations have demonstrated the relation between risk for cardiovascular disease, growth retardation, reproductive failure, and other health problems and hardness of drinking water or its content of magnesium and calcium.Calcification is a very dangerous thing.

If your blood calcium levels are high which would be shown on a routine blood test, then forget all these supplements and natural cures go to an endocrinologist and get your parathyroid levels checked. Chances are you have a parathyroid issue and this could be cured with an extremely simple surgery. I just had this surgery 3 days ago and I am going back to work on Monday. Then I won't have to worry about calcium levels at all because people, this is a cure not a treatment

I tried to flash mine or put them down the sink, but they wouldn't budge unless I poured boiling water on them at high pressure for four minutes. So I buried them.

Hello Dr.Berg and team. It would be rather helpful to have an annual safety update. Specifically which supplements should *-not-* be taken without prescription/testing. For example, iron. Yes, I see you are busy. This is an idea of a shortish update, with links to more detailed video, if any. A disclaimer could be added in front. This could be saving lives. Thank you for your serious contributions.

What about calcium citrate? Doesn't the body absorb this better than calcium carbonate?

Throw it out. Don't take calcium supplements. Just take vitamin d and k2, and krill oil supplements.

Take more magnesium than calcium and always take some D and K2 with your calcium, that should create a good balance.

You can also buy "Food State Calcium" which is plant based and not cheap chalk as in Calcium Carbonate

You don't need to take calcium at all. You get plenty from your food.

@@sadrien If you are able to digest and absorb the nutrients. And the soil where the food grew still had the minerals. Or if you eat plenty of dairy and do not have dairy issues. Hard cheeses would be best, to get vitamin K2. Jarlsberg/gauda etc. Vitamin K2 is very important!

This is so educating. I so didn't realise that you need vitamin D with calcium and then you need vitamin F to aid vitamin D. I will be looking to get my calcium from Sea Kelp or Coral Calcium. Except with Coral Calcium it's a case of which is the better of Fossilised or Non. Shan't ever get the carbonate form that's for sure.

Hi Dr. Berg, In some of your videos you talk about how whole wheat is horrible for weight loss because it has been genetically modified. What about almond flour, brown rice flour, flax seed flour, or other alternatives for people who like to home make wraps, tortillas, pancakes, cookies and things like that? Can any of these flours be substituted, or are all grain based flours out of the question?

@Acein3055 5 лет назад

I take Garden of Life Organic Plant Calcium. It also has Vitamin D, K, and other plant based minerals.

@sadrien 5 лет назад

Sardines and bone broth for specifically calcium. You also want d3 and k2. I'm guessing Garden of Life has those. Additionally, krill oil or cod liver oil for the "f-vitamins" (outdated terminology, we now know they are fats not minerals) which are omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.

ok so in Sept of 2014 i had appendix rupture while 26wks pregnant. Thank God all went ok after being very throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Docs did ultrasound and cat scan (the one where they inject iodine? it feels like a warm flush. then was put in to a big tube)... well my point is that they did a full check because i was in horrible pain and only noticed my appendix swollen, but because of my pregnancy my appendix was behind my right rib cage. close to my liver. at first they actually thought my liver was the problem because it seemed swollen 😳 that would be worse... anyhow the point is they checked well. Got the surgery done and then had my baby on December 3rd. natural🙏🙌. then on mid 2015 i had another 2 ultrasound where i had surgery because i would have pain there. TURNS OUT they found gallstones! now how did it happen so fast! like 6months after😳. ever since i have to watch what i eat or it will hurt. if i eat super healthy it doesn't hurt. i did have like 5 to 6 antibiotics in a 3mo period(because of constant UTIs that was getting worser every time after surgery. before i would only get once a year). I always had my expensive maternity multivitamin. i did go through some stress during tht time... so idk what caused to build gallstones that fast. i mean that area of the gallbladder was cheked a good 3 times with ultrasounds and 1 scan on Sept 2014... do you have an idea what happened?

So I am taking both calcium (as calcium hydroxyapatite, citrate, aspartate, alphaketoglutarate, lysinate ) along with magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. I aslo drink raw milk once daily for a protein shake which uses natural egg protein. I am taking 4,000 iu of D3 as well. None of this is for making bones stronger etc. I am taking these for my muscles to help them work well as I do my strength workouts. At 65 yrs I am building muscle much better than I would have thought possible. My pancreas do not produce insulin so I am taking that with meals or when glucose is high. I am very insulin resistant so I take about five times more than most diabetics do to reduce glucose levels. All this insulin results in weight gain, which is why I resisted doctors suggestions of taking insulin for so many years and I tried many other things. I am trying to leverage the insulin's steroidal properties to make sure some of the weight gain is muscle, figuring I may as well get some good out of it. I was raised on raw milk and I still drink it daily and I have been taking one 500mg tablet of the calcium for activating the muscle cells, so is this OK, or am I in danger of too much? I do want to get maximum muscle cell activation for contraction.
