Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people, or other friends with osteoporosis, can eat calcium carbonate. But it is not enough to eat only calcium carbonate, because all the calcium we eat may not be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, so we should combine vitamin D3 and its activated derivatives.
Generally, 1-2 tablets a day, swallowed or chewed, can achieve better calcium supplement effect. Calcium supplementation for osteoporosis is only the basic treatment, and bisphosphonate anti-osteoporosis drugs should be selected under the guidance of doctors. Usually, we should pay attention to basking in the sun in our lives and do some resistance exercises appropriately to prevent falling. Osteoporosis can be divided into primary osteoporosis and secondary osteoporosis. Primary osteoporosis is one kind of senile osteoporosis, and the other is postmenopausal osteoporosis. Secondary osteoporosis is mainly endocrine diseases, which can cause osteoporosis, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or metabolic diseases caused by parathyroid dysfunction.
Osteoporosis in the elderly should first be supplemented with calcium, which is the basic drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. Calcium supplementation can be used in combination with vitamin calcium and calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate has a high calcium content, and calcium supplementation can also be considered in time. The elderly who use calcium tablets alone think that absorption is not good, and vitamin D or active vitamin D may be needed to promote calcium absorption and prevent the development of osteoporosis.
