This is the direction that I've been going after I read the book User's Guide to Calcium and Magnesium. I noted her concern about the interferences to magnesium which were too much D3, calcium, sugar and various forms of sugar, caffeine, and floride. I cut back in these areas and I use a rebounder plus OsteoStrong. I'm thankful for your research and people in the know who help us grandmas keep going!

@WendySimonson Месяц назад

Why are you recommending a product with magnesium source Magnesium Oxide, which is the cheapest, least bio-available magnesium. It seems based on the cost of this product, I’d like to see a better magnesium source like glycinate. Can you respond? What am I missing here?

@mimirose71 Месяц назад

Agree. Magnedium citrate is horrible!

@WendySimonson Месяц назад

@@mimirose71 actually in my research, Oxide is worse than Citrate, cheaper and less bio-available.

@cailin5 Месяц назад

He recommends relying on magnesium glycinate in addition to this supplement

@WendySimonson Месяц назад

@@cailin5 Thanks, but my point is Magnesium Oxide is cheap and it has a strong laxative effect. AlgaeCal is a highly advertised product with high overhead. It should not be using such a cheap magnesium source when magnesium is such an important element in the bone-building formula. It should not be necessary to use additional glycinate. The original product should have higher quality magnesium. I'm wondering why Dr. Doug is endorsing a product with such cheap inferior source magnesium.

@lynnrobin9988 Месяц назад

Probably because they calcium is well researched in it. But you're right, they should use a better magnesium.

@lynnmcgaha141 Месяц назад

Dr. Barrie Tan, the foremost researcher on the tocotrienol form of Vitamin E, says tocopherols interfere with tocotrienols. So tocotrienols should not be taken with tocopherols. So not mixed in the same supplement.

Great that you mention all 8 forms of vitamin E. Although the science seems to be somewhat inconclusive on how much we need from each one. The main researchers also seem to have vested interests/patents on supplements. However, if you are a scientist and think you found a "cure" of some sort, you would also try to make it commercially available in a proper form.

Thank you for addressing this as I had asked about this with your changes in calcium recommendation video. My concern is I also have severe nerve damage and am on a supplement recommended by my neurologist which has 5000 IU of cholecalciferol in it. (This is from EBM Medical, EB-N5) It has no K2 so I take a separate supplement. This product from EBM Medical is helping me. So I'm very concerned about adding the D supplement from AlgaeCal. Perhaps I need to address nerve health before bone health despite the diagnosis of severe osteoporosis. I'm still confused about how much D I can take. Any thoughts? I do appreciate your videos, but it's getting so distracting to watch as there are so many ads!! Please reset these so they don't interrupt the video information.

@dotjeff4543 Месяц назад

Instead of less vitamin D, maybe we need more of the nutrients that support it (i.e. magnesium, vitamin A, etc.). Optimal levels of vitamin D are essential for immune health (learn from the last pandemic). RDAs for vitamin D are haven’t changed much in 100 years when all they knew was that a certain amount kept kids from getting rickets. Vitamin D is essential for so many other functions including balanced immune function.

@Dr_DougLucas Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing!

@Savannah-ed4rv Месяц назад

Very interesting insights! Now I think I understand why I have not been able to take vitamin D the last 5 years without it causing an A-fib episode. Since it lowers magnesium and magnesium affects heart rhythm, it must be playing a role. My question is are you able to help me figure out why I can't tolerate any supplements for my bones. Calcium does the same thing to my heart and I am not able to take oral magnesium in any form four topical without it causing GI problems. That's just one of my many issues with supplements😢

Very technical and complicated-I’m 85 and took Algae Cal Plus for several years until age 82. I fractured three vertebrae when I was 79. I did not need surgery. I now take Vit. K2( MK-7 200 mcg, Super Omega -3 (Carlson) wild caught fish oil, Vit. D3, 5000 IU. The Algae Cal did not prevent my bones from fracturing. What do u recommend? I also take Turneric and Time Release Vit. C, 1000 mg. and magnesium glycine 500 mg 3capsules per day. I take exercise classes 3x a week and do some exercises at home. I appreciate your knowledge but cannot understand the complexities. Also, my budget is limited now.
