Use Nature’s “Glue” for Stronger Bones

Taking calcium supplements will give you a short-term boost in bone density, but that’s it. Over time, your hormones will work against the extra calcium and actually leave your bones more brittle than before.

Consider this: The U.S. has the highest intake of calcium, yet our rates of osteoporosis are the highest in the world. Countries with lower intakes of calcium have lower rates of hip fracture and osteoporosis.

A lack of calcium isn’t why your bones become weak…

Calcium Supplements Don’t Build Strong Bones

Don’t waste your money on calcium supplements.

If you’re taking them hoping to build strong bones and avoid osteoporosis you’ll be let down on both fronts.

Doctors and drug companies push the idea that the best way to treat and prevent osteoporosis is by taking lots of calcium. This simply isn’t true.

Osteoporosis isn’t caused by a lack of calcium…

Strong Bones Without the Calcium Pills

Do you think that popping a calcium supplement will make your bones stronger?

Despite what you hear on TV, calcium supplements have little to do with the strength of your bones.

That’s what I tell my patients … and it always surprises them…

When is Acid a Good Thing?

I’ve seen patients who eat Tums like candy. They claim relief from heartburn. Plus, they think the calcium in Tums would help keep their bones strong.

Unfortunately Tums are not a good source of calcium… and they’re not a good solution for chronic heartburn either. In fact, taking over-the-counter antacids does you more harm than good.
