Video insights

@distilledscience's TikTok video "Which foods are high in calcium? You can’t just trust the nutrition facts labels, because how your body absorbs calcium is somewhat based on what you consume it alongside. E.g. Roughly 1/3rd of the calcium in cow’s milk gets absorbed, but then the calcium from Soy Milk is absorbed ~75% as well as that of cow’s milk, and beans are only at ~20% and spinach is 15%. (DOI: 10.1590/S0004-27302006000500005 ) Also, having enough Vitamin D is important. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: It is absolutely possible to take too much calcium, which can lead to Hypercalcemia (which can also be linked to too much Vitamin D). The best way to determine whether or not you need to supplement is by testing, but you can also track your diet to get a decent idea. You can get calcium naturally by consuming dairy products, edible bones (e.g., those in canned fish), and many green vegetables. 👉 Excess phosphorus inhibits calcium absorption and may aggravate a dietary deficiency. This is primarily a risk from phosphorus additives in processed foods, which are often unlabeled. ❓What should I cover next? 📚 Key Studies Used in This Video: PMID: 36164828 PMID: 33800689 doi: 10.1016/S0020-1383(16)47003-8 DOI: 10.1515/cclm-2012-0868 PMID: 26770561 doi:10.1136/bmj.h4183 #nutrition #supplements #Science #osteoperosis #barbaraoneill" has 5,112 views, 455 likes, 21 comments, 10 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
