Let’s talk about osteoporosis and osteopenia. There is no way you can build up your bone with just calcium. If you try, you could end up with calcification of your arteries.
Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density and bone mass. This increases your risk of fractures. Osteopenia is the stage that occurs just before osteoporosis.
It’s been found that people with osteoporosis have a much higher degree of calcification in the arteries and joints. This means a person has excess calcium, but it’s not going to the right places in the body.
When dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia, we can’t just look at a loss of calcium. We also need to consider vitamin K2 deficiency and vitamin D3 deficiency.
Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, and vitamin K2 helps drive calcium into the bones. If you take vitamin K2 as a supplement, it may be best to take the natural form called MK7. Vitamin A (retinol) is another important vitamin to support healthy bones.
These essential vitamins for osteoporosis are all fat-soluble, which means supporting your gallbladder and liver is crucial. Bile salts can help support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients if you have a gallbladder or liver problem. It’s also essential to have strong acid in the stomach to absorb minerals and trace minerals.
I would still take some form of calcium if I had osteoporosis. But I would also take these other nutrients. I would also avoid calcium carbonate, which is less bioavailable than other forms. Try to get your calcium and other nutrients from food.
Other important minerals and trace minerals for strong bones:
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc
• Copper
• Boron
Be sure you’re also consuming high-quality sources of protein and are exercising consistently to help with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the most important nutrients for osteoporosis and osteopenia. I’ll see you in the next video.
MK7, D3, trace minerals, plenty of protein, excercise, sunshine, good sleep, deep breathing and watch Dr. Berg daily! ❤
😂 Right?!
Agree
🎉 and Weight training! Im the "real "P.E. teacher🥰
some of the monerals needed include magnesium, manganese, boron, zinc.. apples and other fruits have a lot of boron. Well rounded diet, sunshine, etc needed.

Thank you so much for the much needed breakdown of the vitamins and it’s purpose.👋👍

At age 32 female, I was diagnosed with osteopenia after randomly breaking both my ankles within 8wks of each other just by walking across the lawn and stepping into minor pot holes.
Was an avid rollerblader, never broke a bone in my life and was completely fit and healthy.
Completely bizarre.
You made a statement that made me realize…. Osteoporosis and therefore Osteopenia is reversible.
This is really good to know. I’ll be working on that.

Hello there, I found your comment interesting, but don't understand what you are saying.
I'd be really grateful if you clarify what you mean by EMF, and Quantum bone please.
@@robhole3273 I believe that EMF stands for electromagnetic field which is radiation given off by any kind of electrical device, primary among those that are considered significant or "bad" are cell phones and smart meters. But any kind of device that runs on electricity produces electro magnetic radiation.
The other stuff I haven't a clue.
@@stuartmoore6310
Thank you Stuart, i appreciated you taking the time to reply.
You helped confirm what I suspected.
Interesting point regarding smart meters.
Glad I don't have one!
Cheers brother ✌
I was diagnosed with osteo 22 years ago at age 60. I am not sure they were truthful. I am 82 now and no bone problems. I just keep active and eat like a country girl: Very little packaged lab-made/factory-food for me! Cretainly no sweets or grain-based foods, no seed oils! Just coconut oil, olive, avocado oil, lard, butter and home-made ghee! Sardines, macarel, catfish, shellfish, chicken, venison, pork, goat, and lean beef. I make my own herbal mixes, smoothies, v8, bone broth, ghee and sourkrout....Two hours in the kitchen every day!
Make time for reading Scriptures, prayers, walking, and preparing meals every day. Skip television and cut short your freaky social media. Then you'll be good to go and grow old with a smile on your funky face!
Otherwise do as you like and drag around on a walker with an oxygen tank up yer nose and meds by the millions, adult diapers, depression, boredom, bellyfat, swollen ankles, aches and pains till you wish for death.
you sound like you may have a faulty parathyroid which may be stripping your bones of calcium. If you have not already been tested you need to see a real Doctor immediately. If your problem is a bad parathyroid you need surgery to remove it. Don't worry you should have three more.
Two organic scrambled eggs or an omelette, a D3+K2 combo supplement and 2 mile walk every day. Don't know yet if my osteoporosis has reversed, but I feel so much better. I can even sleep on my back again for, maybe ten minutes at a time where a year ago I couldn't sleep on my back at all. Got to think the eggs are playing a huge role. I'm 69, cheers.
Thanks for sharing!!
Feeling better has to be a good indicator!
What made a huge difference for me; in order to sleep better, without hip pain going down in legs, and for painless weight-bearing on hip-joints; was taking a collagen supplement... It was as if a miracle - in less than a week! Then started preparing home-cooked sult to consume regularly.
How much D3 are you taking?
@@maricamaas2326 D3 1,000 IU + K2 120mcg 2x per day, with 2% milk (for the fat content) at breakfast and dinner. I'm due to go back late Sep for another bone scan. I'll post results if it happens. (I'm in GTA, Ontario, Canada and might have a long wait.)
I also had osteopenia since 3 years. I had pain in several parts of my body. I couldn't even think of walking. Even if I walk 500 meters, I used to have severe pain in my feet area continuously for 3 to 4 days.
Last year, I approached the Orthopaedic (MS). He suggested me X-ray, Vitamin D3 and some other blood tests. X-ray Report and Vitamin D3 test revealed that my bone had become weak and I was also deficient in Vitamin D3.
Doctor suggested Calcium, Vitamin D3 & B Complex Capsules and other several medicines. I also took Vitamin K2 MK7 from my side. There was some relief but not completely. When I used to get up from the bed with the help of my hand, I used to have pain due to my weak bones.
It's been 6 months since I started taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The speed with which I got relief in the beginning has now slowed down. The pain in my feet area was not going away completely even with the medicine. Then doctor did BMD of my feet area. Osteopenia was detected in BMD test. The doctor used to give medicine for two months every time and used to say that if the condition improves, then stop the medicine and don't come. But my condition was same as before, the pain in feet area was not ending.
I did online research and after a few months I came to know about 'Calcarea Phos' Homeopathy Medicine. After taking Calcaria Phos in 6x potency (Calcarea Phos 6X) along with Calcium Citrate 250 mg and Vitamin D3, my bone became stronger within two months and the pain in my feet which was there since 3 years also got completely cured.
In my experience, 'Calcarea Phos' and 'Calcrea Carb' are much more powerful than Vitamin K2 MK7, which strengthens bone amazingly, that too in just a few months.
If you are thinking of taking Calcarea Phos or Calcarea Carb after reading this post, then definitely consult your homeopathy doctor. There is no side effect of this medicine.
If you find it useful, share your experience with others so that they too can benefit.
Thank you! 🥰
Hi, how much and often do you take it? Thank you
@@deebrooks9488 I take one pill of supplement daily which contains Calcium Citrate 250 mg, Magnesium 100 mg, Zinc, Vitamin D3 & Vitamin B12, because I don't eat variety of foods. Along with this, two months ago I took 5 tablets of homeopathy Calcarea Phos 6x three times (total 15 tablets) a day for two months. I have benefited a lot because of Calcarea Phos 6x, the pain in my feet area is completely gone, which previously did not go away with normal calcium supplements alone. Now I just take normal calcium supplements to meet the daily needs which I have discussed above.
Thank you, God b❤
Can your please share your age and the T scores?
@@anvesh12 Age: 30, T Score: -1.3
My mom has osteoporosis and her doc told her if she had daughters 100% chance we would have it ..glad i found this info.
I've scanned bones for twenty-three yrs for the bone density score. Thank goodness someone like you are working for the truth. Please put out a video on the harm the osteoporosis drugs cause.
Which drugs are those? I just had a Dexa scan.
I am on Prolia. I want to the pros and cons. How can I stop? What will happen if I stop?
I refused to take those drugs. With K2 MenaQ7 180mcg; vitamin D3 2,000 I.U; and Magnesium 400 mg my spine Tscore went from a -2.3 to a -1.5 in 24 months. Hopefully with the next scan in 2 years I will be above 0 and normal.
@@bjmorgan3092 Would you mind sharing the brands of the supplements that you use? Thanks.
Dr Doug and others are too.
I'm 77 and recently fell - hard- on concrete, taking my full body weight on only my left knee. Hurt like a son of a gun!! But nothing broke, only the slightest swelling and took 2 days for a barely visible light bruise to appear. I think my bones are good. I'm a lifelong jogger, low carb eater for 20 years, plenty of dairy, and more recently a near carnivore.
Do you take any supplements?
@@mingliu4175 I generally take a multi, D3K2, magnesium, and Dr Berg's electrolytes. My doctor takes nutritional labs every year or so and we adjust if needed. I firmly believe my consistent exercise, (especially extensive walking, jogging, hiking), plus deliberate weight-carrying (still up to 50#), are part of my bone health. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
Gluck gehabt
Everyday I take: ✅
1- D3 5000 iu.
2- K2 MK7 90 mcg.
3- Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg.
** D3 + K2 in one capsule 💊
What brand D3 K2 ? Do you take them everyday or some days or periods off ?
@@mteokay1246
Everyday, without periods off 👍
@@mteokay1246
You can use any brand ✔️💯
Me too. Has it helped you?
@@DeeKru yes
Thank you Dr Berg. You have extended my life, I'd bet by 30 years. I learned I have Osteoporosis and been doing all that you say here with supplemenrs, vitamines and minerals.
For 1 plus years I have been on Good Keto and IF. Sugar, Salt, Carbs, Alcohol, Oxalate FREE. Also I no longer eat processed foods, fast foods or restaurant foods. 4 years Gluten Free.
All my issues have improved.
Sadly I lost my left kidney, but now ALL my labs, CBC, kidney panels have maintained at great and above normal ranges. My Stage 4 CKD is normalized and my right kidney is doing so well. I NO LONGER get 7mm hugh painful kidney stones! No more surgeries all year! Not 1 stone!
My extremely high blood pressure was 203/99 for years while on 2 meds. Now i take no meds and my blood pressure naturally maintaines at 123/81. My EGFR is 97! No proteinuria.
My Sugar levels/ glucose is curing my insulin resistant and pre-diabetic conditions. I no longer tremble and shake.
My Calcium is starting to go where it belongs...in my bones. Skin looking great. Went from 150 pounds down to 124 pounds after Dieticians laughably told me i would just have to accept my weight gain at my age. My eyebrows have grown back in. NOT much pain in abdominal area any longer. I could go on and on.
I LOVE YOU DR BERG. THIS IS ALL DOCUMENTED WITH ALL OF MY DOCTORS AND LABS AND TESTS.
SO, now, I am strongly working on my Ostioprosis.
I love your videos.
Also, yourube algorithms JUST began sending your youtubes to ne again!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks
Fabulously Great Job and Congratulations 😂 Is your new Dexa scan showing improvement?
Please share! I am on same path of building bone back ❤
I picked up on the importance of K2 some time ago on one of your vids. I was diagnosed with Osteopenia two years ago at one of the regular full body bone scans offered free to all Australians over a certain age. When I saw the vid I added K2 to my daily D3 and Calcium. Just had my second two-yearly bone scan and my bones show a marked improvement. Thanks Dr Berg!
@Helenegardener That was kind of the point of my comment! That's what I did use. 🙄
@Helenegardener Yes I watched the video.
@@snn2913 NO! By taking K2 the calcium goes to the bones NOT the arteries - I wish I had discovered that before I wore my right hip out! Getting a new hip in November.
That's brilliant. It gives me motivation when I here success stories.
Congratulations!😊
I remember in an archeology class how they identified the different type of soldiers at battle sites by their bones. Archers forearms, one was larger than the other forearm. Foot soldiers entire arms were bigger bones than the other because of wielding swords depending on being left or right handed. Bones get calcium based on need, which is determined by stress. 😊
Very interesting!!! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds logical, thanks, Erin.
Wow, thanks for this info!
Over 10 million followers . ❤ There is a reason. And thank you for bringing this up. I was completely baffled, I excercise, I'm outdoors, I eat and drink right and I was diagnosed.
Very glad to be of help.
It's really nice that you've started putting the info on screen, very helpful for those that need it.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it!
I am 60 and have a spine fracture and I find that refusing to take the recommended drugs the doctors simply dismiss you and treat you like you have no value and you don't want to get better. I was literally told why are you here if you don't want to listen sigh
Thats when I drop those Drs..I have found more help on here than with my own drs...DO YOUR RESEARCH, MANY Drs have been trained to give give prescriptions to put bandair on problems not to cure....Blessings ..
I’ve had the same experience. They just want to prescribe something - not interested in health care.
You are better off without these doctors and their kickback prescriptions. You will have to do your own research
I was diagnosed with HER2 hormone-negative breast cancer 10 years ago Following chemotherapy, removal of the tumor and radiation, my oncologist recommends taking Letrozol 7 to 10 years post. I recently was diagnosed with Osteoporosis, and taking Flosamax is recommended. I am taking all the vitamins and supplements that you recommend in this video, also collagen peptides and after 20 years eating no meat, I reintroduced meat in my diet 2 yrs ago. My diet is good -- lots of veggies, cheeses, organic meats, water, coffee, occasional glass of red wine. I feel like I'm on a teeter-toter trying to be healthy and active, all while taking medication to suppress hormones.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, for covering the proper diet for improving bones. I have had osteoporosis for years and the only thing my doctors did was recommend drugs and calcium. I’m happy to say that through educating myself by watching awesome YT doctors like yourself, I am feeling empowered and have hope that I can turn things around. Again, many thanks!🤗💕🙏
You're very welcome! Glad to help!
Use Homeopathic Medicine 'Calcarea Phos 6x' along with Calcium Citrate 250 mg, Vitamin D3 for a few months. You will be surprised to see the result.
Echo that....❤❤❤❤
can osteoporosis cause nerve damages?
@@Drberg Am i wrong to say the best way to reverse this is to eat more protein?
Thanks dr B! Women - if you’ve lost your menstrual cycle and you are not old enough to be going through menopause, this is a huge red flag. I was really anorexic for years and this destroyed my bone density. Nutrients through nourishment / food are essential.
That's right. I did intermittent fasting for year and very restricted. I was not getting enough nutrients in my diet and it destroyed my bones DEXA -3.8. I am osteoporotic and only 40.. Now working with a dietician to build back.. I am eating 3 meals/ day. 120g of protein, tons of good fat, low carbs and bunch of supplements for bone's health (D3-K2, beef organs, calcium, magnesium glycinate, B vitamins, Boron, peptide injections, testosterone, progesterone,.. etc...)
I barely ate anything during the 1980s and I have severe osteoporosis. For any young woman out here reading this make sure you get all your nutrients! Great video Dr. B
@@sissi1520I’m -3.8 too. I went on Fosamax for a year and had horrible side effects.
@@camerajen I refused to go on that, was scared of its side effects.
@@camerajen
Is that the one they give you a shot in your stomach? Cause I kept getting pressured to take it and I flat refused it, I told him I would continue with the Reclast. But now I don't know what to do because I was supposed to have it again this past July 3rd and couldn't because he stopped taking my insurance 😔😢. I was severely low on Copper he told me so I'm going to get some of that and increase my D3 and get some boron to hopefully help.
Going through menopause is horrible and it messes with your teeth too 😢😢 ...so between being worried about fracturing a bone then we have to worry about not losing our teeth.
Weight bearing exercise is great for building new bone. Jogging or weights
Dr Berg you have been a life saver for me. I love your guidance for healthcare.❤
"" Many Menopausal women becoming Osteoporotic because of dropping of Oestrogen " Thank you for mentioning this Dr. Berg. Almost non of the doctors mentions this. Menopausal women having consultation with the doctor end up straight away " take Calcium " advise most of the time.
This information is sorely needed! Thank you once again for your thoroughness and thoughtfulness!

hiya @DrEricBergDC i saw a comment of yours that if you take a hormone like melatonin then the pineal will stop. would it be poss to do a vid on what things stop the glands producing it and whats safe? like are vitamins safe? what about valerian root or 5htp etc i guess im just after what i shouldnt take (to trigger my own) vs whats safe to take.
thanks for the insights
Thanks for these additional videos to help. I greatly appreciate it 😊.
Okay Dr. Berg I tried to click on each of these video links above and NONE of them let me see the videos 😢 it just kept bringing up for me to comment.
Could you PLEASE HELP? Thanks
Por favor este video lo puedes hacer en español. Gracias

No I can't I've tried several times 😔
Dr. Berg, White Onion.. one study showed how the more onions older people ate… the better their bone density was!
Eating White Onions daily was associated with 5% greater bone density.. Onion contains GPCS, calcium, sulfur. Onion helps produce bone building collagen. Hip fracture risk was decreased by more than 20% by eating White Onion. Dr. Berg, it is just an article I read long time ago.
I like red onions, why does it have to be white?
Good morning Dr Berg. Thank you very much for wonderful topic , it's very helpful to help me to understand osteoporosis clearly .Have a nice day ❤
Most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
I’m recovering from a dislocated ankle and bimal surgery which I’m convinced was not as bad as it could’ve been because I’ve been taking your D3K2 and Trace Minerals for years. I’m flying through physical therapy and looking forward to walking again very soon. Thank you Dr. Berg.
So glad you are recovering well!
what supplements ??? can you plz name them
“Chew the cement outside your house” 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣 This has to be the funniest thing you’ve said in all your videos. 😂😂😂
Thank you Dr. Berg. Digging around on where the word osteopenia came to be -Osteopenia is the normal slight thinning of bones that comes with aging. Looking further into a certain drug widely prescribed for this, and it’s side effects was an eye opener. It is that certain company’s golden goose.
Most welcome! Be well!
Thank you very much Dr Berg for explaining all this informations , I am grateful to you for everything
Thank you very much Dr.Berg for ur videos on different topics.well explained.lam watching from lndia.God bless you.
NO WAY would I take a prescribed drug for what is essentially a diet deficiency. Luckily it took less than a year to push me back out of the Osteopenia range. That's essential for my upcoming hip replacement.
Hi, great you could get out of it. What things helped you best?
Good morning! 4:18 a.m. and glad to see your new video!
After a dexa scan I was told I had osteopenia and the first thing I was told was to take calcium but I stopped very quickly after reading that the calcium can build anywhere in the body,so I now take Vit D with K2,such a relief to watch this video,thank you x

Sharing Dr Berg notes here:
Let’s talk about osteoporosis and osteopenia. There is no way you can build up your bone with just calcium. If you try, you could end up with calcification of your arteries.
Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density and bone mass. This increases your risk of fractures. Osteopenia is the stage that occurs just before osteoporosis.
It’s been found that people with osteoporosis have a much higher degree of calcification in the arteries and joints. This means a person has excess calcium, but it’s not going to the right places in the body.
When dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia, we can’t just look at a loss of calcium. We also need to consider vitamin K2 deficiency and vitamin D3 deficiency.
Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, and vitamin K2 helps drive calcium into the bones. If you take vitamin K2 as a supplement, it may be best to take the natural form called MK7. Vitamin A (retinol) is another important vitamin to support healthy bones.
These essential vitamins for osteoporosis are all fat-soluble, which means supporting your gallbladder and liver is crucial. Bile salts can help support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients if you have a gallbladder or liver problem. It’s also essential to have strong acid in the stomach to absorb minerals and trace minerals.
I would still take some form of calcium if I had osteoporosis. But I would also take these other nutrients. I would also avoid calcium carbonate, which is less bioavailable than other forms. Try to get your calcium and other nutrients from food.
Other important minerals and trace minerals for strong bones:
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc
• Copper
• Boron
Be sure you’re also consuming high-quality sources of protein and are exercising consistently to help with osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thanks very much for the summary!

I was advised to take 1000mg of calcium after ADT treatment for prostate cancer. Is there a chance of calcium building up in the arteries?

Most welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thanks my doctor your videos always enrich us with important information
you helped us thanks🌹🌷
Very glad to be of help.
Main point, can take 6 years to correct the problem. Therefore, start eating healthy when young, so the problem does not occur, or the body has the minerals to correct things as hormones decrease.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks Dr. Berg
Most welcome! Be well!
Wonderful video as always. I recommend many to watch you. Amazing Dr
Wow! Thanks for your wonderful comment!
This is good to know I was diagnosed with osteopenia and have to take fosamax for a week! I like your method better. thank you Dr. B. Have been follow you a long time.
Use Homeopathic Medicine 'Calcarea Phos 6x' along with Calcium Citrate 250 mg, Vitamin D3 for a few months. You will be surprised to see the result.
I wonder if fosamax causes stomach upset ? I just got diagnosed with Osteopenia.
Having osteopenia recently diagnosed with very high (504) calcium BUT all other yearly testing perfect finally… I’ve been told to cut my 10,000 D3 &K2 /100 down to one a week. This being after 4 years of taking and following you and resulting also in 4 years of no metformin and diet controlled type 2 diabetes yay!
So I’ll push up the K2 & MK7 I think as well!
Thanks for all you do to help us Dr Berg!
If you feel good why cut down? Your Vitamin D level is probably over 100 but you probably haven't experienced toxicity I'm guessing .
@@pjprevite3021 The problem would be too much calcium in the blood which can cause issues. D3 can do this.
Pushing D3 too hard will actually calcify your body. Lower the D3 for balance as too much will require more K2
@@BiggieCheese45 why not take a maintenance dose of 5,000 iu's plus K2 an call it good? Otherwise you would have to take it wait a while for levels to fall then take it again just keep taking a certain dose to maintain
@@pjprevite3021 That's what I am saying, thank you for making it clearer. It may be somewhere around 5,000 IU D3 and 100mcg K2 or more. Depending on their level of calcification.
So much info in this video! Gonna need to come back and take notes. Thanks, doc! 👍
Most welcome! Be well!
Thank you so much for the advice beautiful explanation inspiration
Hi Dr. Berg,
Cholesterol is vital to good health but there is so much confusion around HDL, LDL/small or large, total cholesterol.
Would you kindly explain the roles and significance around cholesterol, the ranges and whether or not to be concerned about a level of 220?
Dr. Berg, love all your videos. Do you think apple cider vinegar has a negative effect on bones?
Valuable information. Thank you.
You're most welcome.
BHRT absolutely necessary after menopause. Lifelong athlete, great diet, fit, great health, and diagnosed w osteoporosis at 57. I was sideswiped by this, and I’m convinced it’s hormonal w me(as well as thin white woman proclivity). Ladies get a bone density scan asap and stay ahead of this!
@mbrowne5105,
You're probably fine! FYI:
Just know that DEXA scans compare us to women age 30!!! So of course we have less @ 50 plus! So if you take it. do so with a grain of salt...
Agreed. Experiencing it myself with a major hormonal imbalance
Me too. But I had hyperparathyroidism disease
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis -3.5 score due to early menopause at 44. Doctor is giving me Prolia. They are saying if I don't take it I will be at risk of fracture. I am scared to continue Prolia injection. On the other hand if I don't take it and if I have any problem where do I go.
I eat healthy, do yoga and few other exercises.
Any suggestions?
@@ayashasiddika, I’m not a doctor, and this is only anecdotal, but my aunt took an injection of Prolia for years. It has a lot of side effects. I saw a photo of her recently, and she looks so fragile and weak. Personally I decided to go the hormone route. I wish I had started it earlier. I started it six years after my last period so I was 57 years old. I’ll be 60 next month, and so far my bones are good. Find a menopause specialist you can work with. That’s what I did.
Dr. Berg that was an excellent teaching video. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
🌷🙏🏽😌 Thank you! Will share with loved ones as I often do.
Most welcome! Be well!
TMAU doctor it’s a must! No videos out there to really help this…. We need you doc on this one plz not even enough research!
I have osteoporosis after taking too much prednisone for Crohns Disease. My bone specialist also said calcium supplements are no good and actually detrimental to the heart. He recommended high impact physical exercise like running to help rebuild the bones.
I do not believe you have to run to keep bone , walking is great especially for older people!
The only thing that worked for me was stem cells.
If I tell you my story you won’t believe it.
I went to Mexico because here in the states is to expensive.
I found the greatest specialist.
Within there months all the pain and inflammation was gone.
I would definitely take a calcium supplement but not high amounts
@@liberty3343can you share where?
Thank you Dr.BERG

thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!
Dr. Berg, You are the Best ! God bless you for caring & sharing. ✝️
Kudos to your presentation using text fonts way easier to read ...
I once had osteopenia, and the doctor put me on Fosamax, I woke up in such pain I thought I would have to go to the hospital. The next day I called the doctor and she wanted to put me on a different brand, it was milder she said, that I couldn't fix this by myself. I've always been a "Oh yeah? Watch me." kind of person. I threw that stuff out and did the things you talk about plus Strontium. I've had some bad falls, but never broke a thing. Had a bone test on my foot which was normal so even though it wasn't the whole scan, I think I'm good.
Poison
This is why I couldn't take phosphates 20 yrs ago. Now I have osteoporosis. Those drugs work if you can tolerate them though.
@@joyrobin947 They just keep old bone from breaking down. Now you have a lot of old crumbly bone that fractures. Denser doesn't mean better.
@@DeeKru
Strontium? Bal of objective evidence says no.
I wish you long life and prosperity from the bottom of my heart, Dr berg. You are a big blessing to me and millions of people out there. ❤. Thank you
Most welcome! Be well!
Thank u
So complex.. thank you for the video.
You're welcome. Hope you learned something new here.
Great & helpful info, TY Dr. B
Most welcome!
dr Berg, I really hope you (or some people in the comments) will answer my next question: how do I know I have a good balance between salt and water (hydration)? like I'm just confused, because on a keto diet I loose a lot of water and electrolytes (salt), but on the other hand you talk about the dangers of overhydration. What about kidneys? You recommend drinking at least 2.5 liters of water for preventing kidney stones, but how about salt in that case, I think I'll be loosing large amounts of sodium (but on the other hand they say salt is bad for kidney stones and should be avoided). I'm VERY VERY CONFUSED, so please adress this on a next video if you can't give me an answer, doctor, I don't really know what to do. I worry I might have kidney stones (because I ate 50g of almonds and 100g of chia seeds daily for the last month, gladly I also drank a lemn with water per day), but now I don't know how much salt should I have if I'm gonna have 2.5 L of water. Sorry for this long comment but please give me an answer, doctor Berg, it will help me a lot and I will know just what to do.
Normal kidneys have enough potential to regulate water and electrolytes to maintain a healthy balance.Depending upon activity 2 - 4 litres of water may be taken.Only kidneys with impaired function need water restrictions.During initial days of Keto Diet intake of water and electrolytes need to be increased due to increased loss.Why do you worry about kidney stones? Multiple factors are associated with formation of kidney stones only dietary factors are not responsible.To overcome anxiety you may check urine for any crystal or undergo USG of KUB region.Blessed be.
I remember asking my dentist if I should take calcium for my teeth and he told me “calcium has nothing to do with your teeth” I thought it was strange, but now I get it…..
He did recommend, however I take vitamin C. He said this is the vitamin which supports your teeth best.
Vit C assists in production of collagen.
I was exactly looking for this video from Dr. Berg. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Berg. This is so very important information. GOD BLESS you. 🌻🌹
Don't forget about silica!! Many have reversed osteo issues in 6-12 months with diatomaceous earth. ✌🌸
Can you please tell me more about it?
@@Flower-pq9kt Sean Martu has many videos on UA-cam on diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) is over 80% silica. You can google the benefits of silica. ✌🌸
Thank you
Most welcome! Be well!
Excellent breakdown on the fundamentals!
I really like that white cheat sheet/ chart in background with all the terms / vitamins mentioned.
Can we print it out ? 😁
Thanks again youre so great i always come to you for answers
This is excellent! Not many people know about this and even healthcare practitioners. New Chapter has an algae sourced calcium slim tabs and includes Vit K2 & Vit D in it. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! Sharing this to my family and friends!
Keep up the awesome content
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Thank you Dr. Berg, can’t get a Dr in the UK, thankfully we have you, God Bless you.
Most welcome! Be well!
Thank you very much for this
excellent information Dr. Berg. Its
absolutely life saving. God bless you.
Glad that you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!
I take an Aromatase Inhibitor after I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. My oncologist’s nurse and the oncology pharmacist both told me I should be taking a calcium supplement, specifically calcium carbonate, since the AI can increase the risk of osteoporosis. I knew from watching Dr. Berg’s videos that this was not the best option so I asked my family doctor his thoughts. He said, “Don’t take calcium supplements, they clog your arteries and can increase your risk of kidney stones.” Glad I have a smart doctor, along with Dr. Berg of course.😊
