A member asked:
I've been told my body isn't absorbing calcium so i have osteoporosis. now my cholesterol has gone from 190 to 260 in one year. i exercise, eat right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deficient in D, K?: Vitamin D is needed to absorb Calcium and K needed for calcium to enter our bones. Get your D level checked- optimal is 50-80. Try Vit K2 15-45 mg/day (not mcg). High chol. may be caused by stress. It may not be a problem if you don't have vascular inflammation.
