A member asked:

How does taking calcium orotate affect your hormones? i am perimenopausal and i feel its affecting me hormonally.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why are you: taking this instead of cheaper and more effective calcium replacement? It does not affect your hormones, but can cause other problems, most commonly GI upset. Check w/your doctor.
