[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to see an endocrinologist. I know it’s not intuitive because they are more frequently thought of for diabetes and thyroid, but bone is controlled by hormones (including vitamin D) and they are the experts at that. It is frankly alarming that you got put on calcium supplements (which do not work) and vitamin D wasn’t measured or addressed. Weight-bearing exercise. And endocrinology.[/quote] Why do calcium supplements not work?[/quote] First, because studies show it doesn’t. Second, because dietary calcium doesn’t just migrate to and get deposited in bones—bone formation is a much more complicated process and inadequate dietary calcium is not usually the limiting issue. Measurements of blood calcium levels aren’t a great proxy for calcium availability for bone production, because the body tends to maintain equilibrium in blood even at expense of bone. But- see #1. Good luck, OP.[/quote]
