ANSWER Elevated calcium levels may indicate underlying health issues. If a doctor has advised you to monitor your levels without immediate concern, consider these natural remedies: 1. Limit Vitamin D Intake: Only use Vitamin D if you know your levels are low. Excessive Vitamin D can increase calcium levels in the blood. 2. Magnesium: Adequate magnesium is necessary for calcium to be properly utilized in the body, and can help balance your calcium levels. Consider taking Pure Harvest Magnesium, as the recommended dosage of 1 capsule twice a day with meals. 3. Vitamin K: Vitamin K, particularly in its MK7 form, supports bone health and helps direct calcium into the bones and teeth rather than into the bloodstream. Take 3 capsules of Maxi Health Vitamin K Max daily with food. If you use a different brand, make sure you choose pure Vitamin K without added Vitamin D. 4. Diet: While you don’t need to eliminate calcium-rich foods from your diet, it’s best to avoid calcium supplements unless directed by a healthcare professional. 5. It’s important to undergo a thorough evaluation of your thyroid by a specialist, as different medical practitioners may characterize thyroid disease in varying ways. There could be a subclinical thyroid issue at play, especially if you are experiencing symptoms such as weight loss or gain, sensitivity to cold temperatures, weakness, or nervousness.
