5 Calcium Myths Debunked by Dr Steven Gundry

You've likely heard your whole life that “You need calcium for strong bones.” While calcium is indeed essential for bone structure, the story isn't as straightforward as it seems!

There's actually no evidence that calcium supplements help direct calcium to your bones. In fact, some evidence from the British Medical Journal suggests these supplements might deposit calcium in your blood vessels, where it can cause serious issues (https://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d...)

And don't get me started on those milk advertisements— the idea that dairy is essential for bone health is largely a myth!

In this episode, I'm setting the record straight by discussing the real amount of calcium you need and where to find it in food. Plus, I'll share alternative strategies for supporting bone health that don't rely on calcium: weight training, vitamin C, and vitamins D and K2. Weight training and high-impact exercises promote new bone formation, while these vitamins stimulate bone-forming cells and enhance mineral binding in bones to prevent calcium loss.

Don't take everything at face value. Join me for the full episode as we debunk myths and focus on what truly supports your bone health!"
