calcium citrate tablet - #17250
A few months ago, I started feeling a bit more fatigued than usual, and my bones seemed to ache more, especially when I’m active. I thought it was just a sign of aging, but then I started getting muscle cramps and stiffness that didn’t go away. I also noticed that my nails became brittle, and my teeth seemed more sensitive. I went to the doctor, and after a few tests, they said I have a calcium deficiency and recommended calcium citrate tablet to improve my bone and overall health. I’ve heard of calcium citrate tablet, but I’m not sure how it differs from other forms of calcium supplements, like calcium carbonate. When I looked it up, I found that calcium citrate is easier to absorb, especially for people who have digestive issues, which made sense because I’ve always had a sensitive stomach. But I’m still concerned—does taking calcium citrate tablet for the long term cause any side effects? Could it affect my kidneys or lead to constipation like some other calcium supplements? Since I prefer natural approaches to health, I started looking into Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda have natural alternatives to calcium citrate tablet that can help with calcium absorption and improve bone health? Could my digestive issues be preventing proper calcium absorption? Are there Ayurvedic herbs or foods that are rich in calcium and help with bone health? I’ve read that sesame seeds, amalaki, and moringa are rich in calcium—do they actually help, and how should they be consumed? Also, are there lifestyle changes or specific practices in Ayurveda that can help improve calcium absorption without relying on supplements? If anyone has used Ayurveda to improve their calcium levels or bone health, what worked best? Did herbal remedies, dietary changes, or sun exposure for vitamin D help? I want to improve my bone health naturally and not just depend on supplements.
