Calcium Tablets for 50 Years Old MOM

Hi Divya,

One gets good calcium tablets here of varying strengths and also in combination with Vitamin D. A good GP should be able to prescribe them for your mom depending on her requirement. Otherwise Shelcal 500 is a good calcium supplement.

 

hi
my mil is taking NUTRILITE® Cal Mag D from amway it helps her... it is available in both us and india but bit costlier...

 

You get very good ones here.
Try CITROMACALVIT(after consulting your Physician.

 

if she has already been prescribed calcium, the doctor knows.

even calcium in excess becomes a problem as you age. you cannot increase calcium levels or increase bone strength after a age. you can maintain it and not allow it to deteriote. being menopausal, also attributes to the same...do not worry.

as others say there is a lot of compositions that suit every individual available in india. you will not believe that you get them from as low as 50rs/10 tabs to 500rs/10 tab but at the end of the day, better leave it to the doctor.

you can ask her to have lot of milk/dairy products. and a lot of sunlight..early morning or evening. recent studies show, that we Indians are slathering our faces/bodies with sunscreen spf 20-50+ these days not realizing the importance of sunlight .

Recently heard even kids as young as 8/10 are always tired..and the doctors feel it is the lack of vitamin D..

 

As our IL Friends mentioned above, it is better to have been prescribed by Doctor.
My Mom suffered the same during her menopause and was taking Calcium supplements for couple of years (as prescribed by Doctor). Offlate, she was getting urinary track problems and diagnoised with stones in Bladder. Ofcourse, she has been treated for that and fine now, but the reason for the stones were more calcium intake. It is better to follow as per GP.

 

I have faced a problem, I used to have calcium deposits in my calf muscles.
Because of that I suffered a lot.
So it is always better to consult the Doctor and take the calcium supplements.

Love Thanks Divine,

hi there , you have asked about good calcium tablets , of course calcium tabs vit d3 are a good option but the basic difference is in the form of calcium whic is used in those tablets , most of them effects the kidneys badly try yourself take one or two tablets and dissolve in half a glass of water you can easily see the residue left at the bottom , which in turn can lead to renal stones and other disorders.

to avoid such situations try some supplements having organic calcium , if you need i can help you finding some
