I’m new to this group. I take calcium with vitamin D because I also have osteoporosis. Recently having listened to Dr Tim Spectre founder of Zoe Health he does not recommend taking calcium. I’m wondering how many people in this community think it helps or maybe hinders OA?

    I take calcium+ vitamin D too. I'm very interested in what Tim Spector says about this. I'm searching it.

    Thanks

    Let me know if you discover anything. I know people who won’t take extra calcium because they feel too much of it can lead to more problems especially if you already eat dairy food on a regular basis, which I do. It’s all a bit of a dilemma trying to decide what is best for you. Thanks for responding
