[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also add that I believe recent studies indicate that it isn’t a lack of calcium that is the problem. It’s low vitamin d. [/quote] 49 thin Caucasian F, currently w/normal bone density. 15 years ago I was on a prolonged prednisone course and saw an endocrinologist to discuss prevention of bone loss. This is what she said at the time. I have supplemented to a high normal vitamin D level since then. In me this has sometimes required Rx 50,000 iU doses (initially daily, then weekly or every 2 wks for a long time). Now I use OTC—5000 iU/day—which I don’t prefer but it seems to be working. I don’t take calcium and don’t do anything special re dairy; I do lift heavy weights. So far so good. [/quote]
