What Is Calcitriol and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting Its Effectiveness? - #14979
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, and my doctor prescribed calcitriol to help regulate my calcium levels and support my bones. While I’ve been taking it regularly, I’ve been wondering how calcitriol works in the body and whether there are natural ways to support its effectiveness. I’ve heard that calcitriol helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, but I want to make sure that I’m also nourishing my body in the right way to maximize its benefits. Can Ayurveda offer any dietary recommendations or herbs that can help improve calcium absorption and support bone health while I’m using calcitriol? I’ve heard that herbs like Ashwagandha and Gokshura are good for bone strength—could they help enhance the effects of calcitriol? I’m also wondering if there are lifestyle changes or Ayurvedic practices that can complement the use of calcitriol, especially when it comes to improving bone density and overall health. Can Ayurvedic detoxifying practices support calcium metabolism? Has anyone here used calcitriol for vitamin D deficiency or calcium issues and incorporated Ayurvedic remedies? What worked for you in improving bone health and supporting the effectiveness of calcitriol?
