My calcium is always low.

Do you get enough Vitamin D to help with absorption?

amethystbeeble.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yes. I take a supplement of both. Maybe it’s menopause

It can do weird things to you.

My Vitamin D levels plummeted a few years ago. I felt terrible. Same happened with my mum some years before that. I take a supplement for that now, even in summer just to be on the safe side.

Leafy green veg is the hardest to digest and a lot of people can't handle it

themorganic.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well, it’s not the sole source.

There is also calcium set tofu, fortified plant milks & yogurts, figs, beans & more.

In fact people living in hard water areas get plenty in the drinking water too. But for those who don’t, here’s more info:

Really disappointed that even @theguardian.com in all it's editions ran with the "glass of milk" headline - they're in the media business & know many people read a headline & if it confirms their confirmation bias they don't read the article.

Me too.

I wonder if @georgemonbiot.bsky.social will have words?
