if i take 1500 mg of calcium a day how long will it take for my bones to be normal or 0?

Question

if have severe osteoperosis and on a bone scale my bones are -5.

Answer 1

you need at least 1200mg/day of calcium with Vitamin D to aid in the treatment of osteoporosis. And you need to be eon a bone bu9lder like fosamax or actonel. I know. I'm in your boat and broke my ankle foot, leg an ans rib when I was off my bone former. It could take a year or more, depending what your die5tis like.

Good luck

Answer 2

Do not let your doctor con you into a synthetic estrogen.

Synthetic estrogen actually causes bone LOSS.
A natural progesterone will rebuild bone from the inside out. :)

Also, DO NOT be conned into something like Fosamax.

Dr. Mercola (http://www.mercola.com) says:
Dr. John Lee, the physician who wrote "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause" is very strongly opposed to the use of Fosamax, and I could not agree with him more on this issue.

It is interesting that Merck, the manufacturer of Fosamax, funded both of these studies and both appeared in two well respected medical journals the same week.

Fosamax is in the same chemical class (phosphonate) that is used in the cleaners used to remove soap scum from your bath tub. This is a metabolic poison that actually kills the osteoclasts. These are the cells that remove your old bone so your osteoblasts can actually rebuild your bone.

It is quite clear that if you kill these cells your bone will get denser. What these studies do not show is that four years later the bone actually becomes weaker even though it is more dense.

This is because bone is a dynamic structure and requires the removal and REPLACEMENT of new bone to stay strong. Fosamax does NOT build ANY new bone. The true solution is to
go on natural progesterone. One can review Dr. Lee's book for more information.

Progesterone is the only substance that I know of that will actually increase bone strength and density. It does this by serving as a growth promoter for the osteoblasts, or the cells that build bone. Of course, it would be wise to have the other basics in place such as adequate amounts of calcium, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D and copper, in addition to exercise
and avoidance of items that will damage bone like soda pop and sugar.

This is one of the main reasons you will not find studies published on natural progesterone as it is a natural substance which can not be patented and no huge amounts of profit can be realized.

Answer 3

Some calcium's do-not absorb well so that could be a tough question to honestly answer.
Along with the calcium you also need the other trace minerals.

Answer 4

Go see your doctor and have them prescribe a dietary and nutrional supplement plan for you. Do not depend on any other information from this board.
