calcium vitamin d tablets - #17304
I’ve been having joint pain and muscle weakness for the past few months, and when I finally went to the doctor, they ran some blood tests. Turns out, my vitamin D levels are really low, and my calcium is borderline deficient too. The doctor prescribed calcium vitamin D tablets and told me to take them every day. I started taking them, but within a week, I began feeling bloated, and sometimes I even felt a little nauseous after taking them. Also, I read somewhere that taking too much calcium can lead to kidney stones, and now I’m worried about whether I should be taking these tablets daily. I started looking into Ayurveda because I want to know if there’s a more natural way to improve calcium and vitamin D levels. Do I really need to take calcium vitamin D tablets, or are there Ayurvedic remedies that can help improve bone strength without supplements? I read that Moringa, Ashwagandha, and Sesame seeds are good sources of calcium—would eating those be enough to replace the tablets? Also, my digestion has been sluggish ever since I started taking calcium vitamin D tablets. Could these supplements be causing digestion issues? Is there something I should be eating along with them to prevent bloating and discomfort? I also heard that just taking calcium vitamin D tablets isn’t enough—you need good digestion for proper absorption. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or practices that help the body absorb calcium and vitamin D more efficiently? And what about sun exposure? How much sunlight do I actually need daily to get enough vitamin D naturally? I don’t want to depend on supplements forever. Can Ayurveda help naturally strengthen bones and improve vitamin D levels without relying on calcium vitamin D tablets in the long run?
