@drdavidmorris: Where is your calcium actually going? Calcium supplements, vitamin D, vitamin K2, MK-7, bone health, arterial calcification, cardiovascular health, calcium metabolism, and supplement safety are topics worth understanding before adding another supplement to your routine. Most people hear "calcium" and immediately think stronger bones. But calcium metabolism is more complicated. 🦴 Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. 🫀 Vitamin K-dependent proteins are involved in regulating calcium within certain tissues. That means bone health isn't simply about taking more calcium. Your overall nutritional status, medical history, medications, and individual needs matter. And there's an important safety point: ⚠️ Vitamin K can interact with certain medications, including some blood thinners. If you're taking a blood-thinning medication, don't start vitamin K supplementation or change your medication without speaking with your prescribing healthcare professional. If you've been told you have arterial calcification or you're considering calcium supplementation, that's also a conversation worth having with your clinician. 👉Before adding another supplement, ask your healthcare provider whether it's appropriate for your specific situation. 💬 Did you know vitamin D and vitamin K have different roles in calcium metabolism? #Calcium #VitaminK2 #MK7 #VitaminD #BoneHealth #ArterialCalcification #SupplementSafety #HealthTok #FunctionalMedicine #murfreesboro #functionalmedicine #magnoliamedicalcenter #rootcause #fyp #viral
