I don’t take it very often, but it is reliable for an occasional use.
It was never meant to be taken daily, I don’t think.
Sounds like your dad had acid reflux or GERD.
ALL Osteo A, Arthritis meds cause acid reflux in a lot of people, mine went in the trash when it started that up. Rheumatologist threw his hands up in surrender. I’d rather put up with the joint pain.
I do 6-8 glasses of water per day, plus Magnesium, Potassium along with my Calcium.
No, my dad was dehydrated. Chronically.
I want to expand on what you said about supps too Gail. Be very careful taking calcium. We get alot of it in our diet and if you don’t get enough mag, calcium won’t dissolve. You also have to take the ‘right’ kind of mag. Most mags are bound to oxide which does not absorb. Check your labels. If you insist on taking calcium take at least 2x the amount of mag as cal. You should also take salt in warm water and drink it. Salt and potassium work together. Throw out your table salt and buy a good, unrefined salt like Celtic Sea Salt.
For acid reflux, do a low carbohydrate diet. Worked like a charm for me.
