This is a common misconception that taking calcium tablets is a treatment for osteoporosis, but it is not. Osteoporosis is: “not enough calcium supplement”, “eat something intestines do not absorb calcium”, “calcium in the blood can not stay on the bones”, “the calcium on the bones is dissolving loss”, “the body’s calcium out of the body increased”. “Calcium in the bones is dissolved and lost”, “the body’s calcium out of the body increased” these factors together the results. Then the simple calcium supplement is for the “calcium is not enough” link, as for the next few links, eating calcium tablets is not any intervention and treatment effect. ”Eat something intestinal not absorb calcium” to rely on the role of vitamin D, especially the active vitamin D (ossified triol) to promote the intestinal absorption of calcium. The cod liver oil that we eat usually contains ordinary vitamin D. The elderly also need regular sun exposure and ultraviolet radiation to the skin in order to turn ordinary vitamin D into active vitamin D. “The calcium in the blood cannot stay on the bones”, “The calcium on the bones is dissolving and losing “, “the body’s calcium out of the body increased” these links are mainly the body about calcium, phosphorus metabolic balance is out of balance, with parathyroid hormone, calcitonin these hormones are related, is an endocrine problem. The common “salmon calcitonin” and “parathyroid hormone injection” are all hormone-related drugs. Another common drug is “phosphate”, the main effect is to inhibit the cells that dissolve bone, and the effect is also obvious after use. Therefore, the standardized anti-osteoporosis treatment requires a combination of drugs by a professional orthopedic surgeon based on the assessment of the bone density of the elderly (the degree of osteoporosis). Do not follow the TV commercials, eat calcium tablets every day, drink blue bottle of calcium, osteoporosis treatment is a very complex matter, and not the calcium manufacturers’ advertising can be clear!
