Accepted Answer

Calcium: Calcium in the right dose should not cause constipation. How much calcium are you taking, and are you also taking vitamin D.

In many places milk will include both calcium and vitamin D.

Question 9

can i counteract potential osteoporosis family history by taking calcium supplements?

Accepted Answer

One answer: Calcium and vitamin d supplements certainly are a part of reducing bone loss. Depending on your age, a DEXA or bone denstiy test may be in order to measure your bone density and see if bone loss is present. If so, other therapy may be indicated. Also weight bearing exercise is important in helping maintain bone density.

Question 10

can you tell me if i could take iron and calcium supplements with nutrex lipo-6 black?

Accepted Answer

Save your money: Unbelievable how many new miracle supplements are appearing on the market and nutrex lipo-6 black is another "new kid on the block".  This so-called "fat burner" is associated with no credible evidence of benefit, and is yet another potential scam, with possible bad adverse events.  Talk to your doctor, as you are clearly in search of some solution.  Just do it safely.
