Joint pain and constipation

How to deal with the "side effects" of calcium supplementation

What should I do if I take calcium tablets to cause dry stools?

Many uncles and aunts have constipation problems when they get older, and taking calcium tablets can sometimes aggravate this problem.

If your has insufficient stomach acid , the calcium tablets you eat will always remain powdery and cannot dissolve.

powder calcium enters the large intestine, will dry the feces and aggravate constipation.

gastric acid secretion will increase after eating, so it is recommended that you eat something before taking calcium tablets , or take calcium tablets half an hour after meals.

Or, you can also take calcium citrate tablets instead of , which can be absorbed without dissolving gastric acid.

Osteoporosis, what should I do if I take calcium tablets don’t work?

Calcium tablets are nutritional supplements and cannot treat osteoporosis caused by self-metabolic abnormalities .

If you take a lot of calcium tablets and your condition still does not improve, it is recommended that you take some medicines for treating osteoporosis under the guidance of a doctor .

These drugs will help calcium enter the bones and improve your calcium supplement efficiency.

After taking calcium tablets, the whole body was joint pain ?

A joint pain may be caused by rheumatic bone disease.

If the inspection ruled out this possibility, then you need to check whether supplements too much vitamin D, causing worsening calcium loss.

You heard it right. Excessive vitamin D can also make people lack calcium. How should we grasp this degree?

Vitamin D is too supplemented with oversized

will cause calcium deficiency and poisoning!

Uncles and aunts all know that it is best to supplement calcium with vitamin D, otherwise calcium cannot be absorbed.

In fact, vitamin D is not always a positive role.

There are two types of osteocytes involved in bone formation, one is Osteoblasts , and the other is Osteoclasts . Osteoblasts can make bones stronger and increase bone density. Osteoclasts can loosen bones.

The reason why people get older is because of calcium deficiency and the activity of osteoblasts is reduced.The newly formed bone is not enough to fill the gap left by osteoclasts.

Research found that excessive vitamin D in can promote the production of osteoclasts in , and ultimately make osteoporosis worsen . How to overdosage vitamin D?

Generally speaking, is outdoors for 20 to 30 minutes a day, and the human body can synthesize enough vitamin D by itself.

If you take vitamin D drops on the basis of sunbathing, and take vitamin D complex vitamin tablets , then your supplementation will definitely exceed the standard.

Nowadays, many uncles and aunts have a variety of nutritional supplements at home, and sometimes they forget that there are repeated ingredients . It is recommended that you check it when you go home today to avoid repeated supplements.

Vitamin D poisoning

Vitamin D is a vitamin of fat-soluble and is not easily excreted with urine. Therefore, is easy to accumulate in the body, causing poisoning .

Symptoms of vitamin D poisoning include:

lack of strength, soft body, trembling hands, unsteady walking, nausea and vomiting, dysphagia , drowsiness , fatigue . If you find symptoms that are not treated in time, life may be in danger!

Case sharing

Director Qin has treated an 85-year-old grandmother. She suffers from hypertension and chronic kidney disease .

In the past two years, she has been taking calcium tablets containing vitamin D, and has added other vitamin supplements in the past two months. As a result, vitamin D accumulation poisoning occurred. When he was admitted to the hospital, he had reached more than 700 serum creatinine , which had reached the dangerous level of uremia .

After examination, it was found that the elderly’s blood calcium content was seriously exceeding the standard, and calcifications occurred in multiple organs. If they were a little later, they would be in danger of life.

Vitamin D is so terrible, so do we still need to supplement it?

Under what circumstances do you need

Additional vitamin D

If you can guarantee outdoor sunshine for more than 20 minutes a day, you don’t need to add D.

If you live in the area is seasonally rainy and , and cannot guarantee to eat fish at least once a week (fish are also rich in vitamin D) , then you really have to take extra vitamin D drops.

For a small number of people, taking vitamin D alone is not enough.

Because vitamin D needs to be activated in the body to take effect, so if you suffer from liver and kidney dysfunction , you need to take calcitriol (an activated form of vitamin D) under the guidance of a doctor.

calcitriol is a prescription drug and needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor. Suitable for 70-year-old elderly people .

Finally, no matter what kind of vitamin D preparation you are supplementing, it is recommended that you regularly test the levels of blood calcium, blood phosphorus, 5 hydroxy vitamin D and the displacement of urinary calcium . Beware of poisoning.
