Q: I came across a web site where they suggest 1 part calcium to 1.2 parts magnesium (250 mg calcuim – 300 mg magnesium) do you agree with this?
A: The ideal balance between calcium and magnesium is 2 to 1, but here’s the trick: what counts is not the total mg. but the elemental quantity which may or may not be disclosed on the label. Check it out and let me know when you have a chance.

Thank you Vivien for your wonderful advises. I got Actonell three weeks ego, and after the first pill I got so sick that I got my family worried. I still have stiff joints and I can not run, Will it go away? After the first (and last pill) the 3 months package now is in the garbage. I started to do research and found your site, I hope to receive your book soon. I also have high blood pressure, is there a similar source as yours for getting well without medication as yours?

Hi Vivian,
I am in the exploration phase of finding the best approach to treating osteoporosis(documented and worsening)Long story and long time search–I asked to contact you re:a program I am trying(with supplements) and wanted to compare that prgm with yours and was told you would be calling me.I may decide to go with your program-I just want the opportunity to compare.Maybe the prgms are the same.
I meet with my MD tomorrow and will present to her why I do not want to go on Forteo.
Thank you for your attention,

I went on the site that advertises their proprietary 90% absorbable calcium. I really wanted to believe it, but I think they may not be trustworthy. There is no information on their site about where they’re located, where the manufacturing takes place and when I called customer service (an 800# from who knows where), I got a recorded message that they’d call me back if I left my name and number. That’s not much of a business.

I too am reseacrhing different calciums and have heard that Calcium Aspartate Anhydrous is 90% absorbable. This touted percentage is much higher than anything i have seen for the Carbonate or Citrate types of Calcium. Is this false advertising or is it true? Thanks.

Hi Vivian,
Which calcium supplement is the best one to take? I was told the calcium citrate was good, certainly better than carbonate or oyster. But I’ve also heard that there are some other kinds that are better, but possibly quite expensive. Which do/did you use?
Thank you,
Eva
