## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down the latest thinking on calcium supplements for bone health, including the fear around calcium and heart attack risk. He explains why most people don’t need 1,200 mg of calcium from supplements alone and why food intake should come first. He also compares calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, algae-based calcium, and bone-based calcium through the lens of absorption, safety, and fracture risk reduction.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20671013/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31747785/ Shop & Save 10% on NBI Products: https://shop.nbihealth.com/pages/dr-doug-bone-health?bg_ref=YMKzZt4KwC This is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a commission if you purchase through it, at no additional cost to you.2024 Calcium Video:https://youtu.be/3fcbh2TVS5Y🦴 Stronger Bones.
