We explored how calcium intake relates to constipation, particularly focusing on individuals with metabolic syndrome, a condition that significantly impacts health. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2005 and 2010, we assessed the dietary habits of participants and looked at how often they experienced constipation.
Our findings suggest a noteworthy connection: as dietary calcium intake increases, the risk of constipation decreases among those with metabolic syndrome. This suggests that calcium could play a beneficial role in gastrointestinal health.
By analyzing dietary recalls and bowel movement frequency, we provided valuable insights into how making dietary changes can potentially improve symptoms for those affected by metabolic syndrome. This emphasizes the importance of dietary calcium as a simple yet impactful strategy for managing gastrointestinal issues in this specific population.

Calcium citrate is advantageous as it doesn't require stomach acid for absorption and generally avoids side effects like constipation. Citracal provides an affordable 650mg dosage along with Vitamin D and Zinc, all in a vegetarian-friendly caplet. This carefully considered calcium citrate offering is available at an excellent value for a 90-day supply.

Calcium dobesilate reduces leg cramps
We examined the benefits of calcium dobesilate for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), particularly focusing on how it impacts symptoms like leg cramps. In a systematic evaluation of ten different clinical trials involving 778 patients, we compared the effects of calcium dobesilate to a placebo.
Our analysis found that calcium dobesilate significantly reduced night cramps, helping patients nearly twice as much as those who received a placebo. The number needed to treat for this relief was calculated to be 8, indicating that for every eight patients treated with calcium dobesilate, one experienced noticeable improvement.
Moreover, patients also reported less discomfort, with a number needed to treat of 4 for that symptom. Interestingly, we noted that those with more severe symptoms experienced even greater relief, suggesting that calcium dobesilate is particularly effective for patients with advanced CVI. However, both doses tested—1,000 mg and 1,500 mg—proved equally effective, which is good news as it suggests that a lower dose might suffice.
Additionally, we found that adverse events were not significantly different from the placebo group, indicating a favorable safety profile. While calcium dobesilate shows promise, we acknowledge the need for further studies to solidify these findings and explore its efficacy in various CVI stages.

I've used Citracal for years; it's the best calcium supplement available. Whenever I experience leg cramps, I take one tablet, and they disappear within 30 seconds. It's truly effective.

We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

My Bone Mineral Density (BMD) tests showed I was osteopenic, but after several years of taking calcium and vitamin D along with Prolia injections, my BMD is now back in the normal range. I’m pleased to know I've sufficient calcium for the vitamin D to aid absorption.

We examined a collection of randomized controlled trials to determine the impact of calcium plus vitamin D supplementation on fracture prevention.
The results revealed a promising 15% reduction in total fractures and a remarkable 30% drop in hip fractures among those taking these supplements.
This convincing evidence supports the recommendation of calcium and vitamin D for reducing fracture risk, especially in older adults, whether living at home or in care facilities.

VA lab blood tests revealed I had low calcium levels. Despite having two types of arthritis and osteoporosis as a male, my calcium levels returned to normal range after starting these calcium citrate tablets. Although the tablets are large and may challenge some to swallow, they don’t bother me. My wife finds them difficult to take and uses Citrical Petites instead, which do not have the same trace elements. I highly recommend these.
