(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best calcium mineral supplements

DIM (https://www.amazon.com/DIM-Supplement-BioPerine-Menopause-Inhibitor/dp/B006KL4TYG) & CDG (https://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-Calcium-D-Glucarate-Tablets/dp/B000GFSVSW) are both supplements that help regulate estrogen that I learned about from reading various men’s health forums. Dr. Saya and Dr. Crisler, two pretty prominent MDs in the men’s health field also endorsed them. Neither of them require a prescription and I purchased them directly from amazon; links are provided above.

Technically probably the same but it is liquid and food grade.
Here is an Amazon link
Calcium Chloride (Liquid) - 2 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064OLZEG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bRSJAbV25Y7B8

Hope that helps.

You may want to consider a magnesium supplement. I bought these, and they have been helping.

I am a keto noob though so if anyone has a better recommendation, please post it!

You don't mention how long you've been keto. Getting into ketosis only takes a few days, but getting fully fat-adapted can take weeks/months. Until you are fully fat-adapted it's normal to have irregular bowel issues one way (constipation) or the other (diarrhea/urgency). I would say it took me probably two months for things to settle down into regularity. Some advice: water, water, water. Guard your electrolyte intake religiously as well. I put sodium, potassium, and magnesium citrate powder in my 80oz water jug every day. I also take a magnesium citrate capsulesupplement before bed. As for probiotics - I have tried all different kinds of probiotics, but I finally came to the conclusion that a capful of apple cider vinegar in my water jug everyday does the trick minus the rumblies in the tumbly the commercial probiotics gave me. Use the vinegar with the "mother" in it - like this
Edit: fixed the formatting

They sell replacement filters as a set for $24. You can also get a two year supply with the original kit as an option. They recommend you change the filters every 8 to 12 months, but the membrane lasts up to 3 years.

I'm actually just getting into making good coffee at home (getting off the Keurig pods). I haven't added minerals for coffee yet, but I do intend to. I do add minerals when I brew beer and coffee will be similar. I add calcium chloride and gypsum to the beer. I'll do the same for coffee, but I will also add a little Epsom salt.

Some women experience dips in supply due to hormone fluctuations related to their cycle. So if you think your period is starting to come back that would be my guess. The first time my period came back I had a huge sudden dip in supply a few days before. I also had to dip into my freezer stash to get through. Once my period started my supply came right back. My lactation consultant suggested a calcium/magnesium supplement. You only have to take it right before ovulation through your period, but I just take it everyday so I don't forget. It has really helped! I haven't had any issues my last two periods. Here's the supplement I use:

Calcium Magnesium Complex 1000mg and 500mg Country Life 180 Tabs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00117ZTMU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FjKLzbC16WF5D

I just take two a day. Fair warning, they're pretty big pills if that's an issue for you.

No, more like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AW48R1I/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1450052421&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=gypsum&dpPl=1&dpID=41FG6NPbRQL&ref=plSrch

That looks like lawn fertilizer ;). Don't use that. Your LHBS should have water stuff, or order online like this one.

sorry for all the questions, im just a curious guy
> Tablespoon per liter of cane sugar

Like the store bought stuff, granules?

|

>Cal/mag tablets

|is that specifically for plants or is it vitimans for hoomans?

could i use this and this

I will boil an egg later on and do as you said, I hope she'll go for it.

Should I try and put it in her food bowl that is inside the cage or outside in her nesting box?

She usually goes inside the cage to eat.

Also, is this good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vetark-Professional-ZD-Zolcal-120/dp/B00366YM22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521118333&sr=8-1&keywords=liquid+calcium+for+birds

If it is, I'll order it straight away, should arrive in a few days.

Btw, this is the magnesium I use and recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Solgar-Calcium-Magnesium-Citrate-Tablets/dp/B00020IC3A/

Magnesium citrate is supposed to be one of the easier forms of magnesium to digest.

Here you go this is what I take and you don't have to take 2 tablets as long as you have a decent diet. MegaFood - Calcium, Magnesium & Potassium, Supports Healthy Bones & Muscles, 90 Tablets (FFP) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GZ9KQPY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_M2OAybWWQR1VD

I would look into magnesium supplementation. I had similar symptoms along with night time cramps and heart palpitations. SlowMag 2x a day fixed me.

I take one of these a night before bed. Just had a blood test done Monday and the doctor said my electrolytes were perfect

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WSGBLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Yes because it also contains vitamin K

I take both of these:

Here is the research that backs it up:

Fucking lowlives. Sorry your mom got scammed. These are just general supplements that won't really do anything compared to a healthy diet. I wouldn't recommend buying them all. Maybe a multivitamin and fish oil, or a b-vitamin if she doesn't eat meat. Otherwise, they're likely a waste of money.

Here are some supplements I've taken that look like basically the same thing, though I don't see Amway's nutritional facts (with the list of ingredients) so I just have to go by the marketing nonsense on their site to guess at what all is in each.

Also, /r/supplements is great for questions like this.

1. just looks like a multivitamin
   
2. a superfood powder
   
3. cal-mag + d
   
4. fish oil
   
5. digestive enzyme
   
6. b vitamins
   
7. vitamin c complex
   
8. green tea
   
9. green tea with coenzyme q10. not sure about a supplement for that
   
10. probiotics
    
11. chondroitin, glucosamine, boswellia, and hyaluronic acid complex. you can find supplements and creams with these ingredients.

That is a very interesting idea. I will try this. Could she suggest brands or amounts, I'm a little lost. I imagine I would have to work up to any significant amount, but not sure what an 'amount' might be.

Is it something like this or this2?

Calcium Citrate - 2 pills a day

Metabolol 2 - 1 scoop in a glass of water only after resistance training

Nutrigrain - 1 a day to make sure I get enough sugars

FiberOne - One bar a day

Gypsum is calcium sulfate, it is sold online but also sold at many nurseries or hardware stores as a soil conditioner: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Timberline-Soil-Doctor-Pelletized-Gypsum-Soil-Repair-40-lb-Organic-Soil-Conditioner/3062445

If you can't find it, some people like to use spent coffee grounds as a nutritional supplement so that is another option.

It’s also heavy metal tested.

One of these tablets may be useful. There were recommendations for tofu and fortified plant milk, but you didn't seem quite open to those. Maybe a simple, low dose of calcium citrate may be helpful for you.

I use Osteocare for Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Zinc! Not sure where you’re from but I think they’re available on Amazon and ebay

yeah indeed, this is the one i'm getting

Slo-Mag &
Nu-Salt

These are critical to maintaining your electrolytes, along with sodium. You need more than just added table salt, think heavily salted food like pickles, or my favourite way is broth from these bullion cubes

this is currently what I take before bed

https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitality-Calm-Plus-Drink/dp/B008OXG6G2/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=calm+now&qid=1570925608&s=hpc&sr=1-5

I got mine at my LHBS. If you don't have one nearby, Amazon has it.

Check this out: Gypsum- 1 lb. LD Carlson https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064OGEZG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_KA4HDbK68PJVK

Some of these are on the way to my house.

I was able to lower mine using calcum-d glucarate and Diim. I don't know if you can get it down that low though, It wouldn't hurt to try. You can get both from Amazon.
Diim
Calcium-d glucarate

I’ve found it @:

• gardening supply store
  
• hardware store that sells bags of concrete, sand, etc
  
• Amazon
  
• Farm feed supply store
  
• Pottery supply store
  
  If you use pulverized drywall, be aware that some of them have anti-fungal agents added.
  
  It’s not critical to include.
