Sorry, doubting that! I take 5000 i.u. per day and no calcium (can’t tolerate it in any form) my bone density went from abnormal to normal in one year.
Not that I doubt this Ivanhoe, most science has been corrupted by money.
Vitamin D, sunshine and probiotics did the trick for me!
Prunes are supposed to work. I have my husband on 10 a day and I’ve got a whole retirement community eating them too after one of the women got a broken rib when a guy just gave her a friendly hug.
WHAT kind of Vitamin D? (It has to be D3, but this article does not say THAT!) I get tired of idiots not doing their writing/researching appropriately.
that’s because it’s MAGNESIUM that makes bones strong.
Thankfully many doctors recognize Vit D3’s role in immunity and bone health and are testing blood levels. They regularly prescribe high doses initially then tell you to maintain with OTC pills.
Here’s a book concerning the need to combine Vitamin D3 supplementation with Vitamin K2 (my local Wal-Mart carries this):
Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life by Kate Rheaume-Bleue
The book is available at Amazon - I got it on Kindle.
Essentially, K2 acts in synergy with D3 and calcium to direct calcium to the bones instead of letting it end up as calcified plaque in the blood vessels.
