so I wanted to do a video on the side

effects of calcium carbonate because a

lot of people are taking it they don’t

really know much about it the biggest

thing that you need to know is that

calcium and other minerals need an

acidic medium to be absorbed okay so if

your stomach does not have the acidity

that you need that calcium is not going

to be absorbed too well a lot of people

are taking calcium carbonate for

heartburn and what happens the calcium

carbonate dries up the acid in the

stomach over time to the point where you

have less and less acid so not only does

that calcium not absorbed and benefiting

you anyway but the calcium ends up

causing heartburn because now there’s no

way of creating a signal to close the

valve at the top of the stomach and now

you get GERD or acid reflux you need a

really really really acid stomach to

keep that valve on the top of the

stomach closed so there’s no acid that

shoots up now this is my opinion but I

think you would be better off by taking

outside of vinegar for GERD or heartburn

than any type of calcium products but of

course check with your doctor before

taking any of my advice now there’s a

couple studies I’m going to put down

below that talked about this high doses

of calcium carbonate did not increase

bone density in the condition of

osteoporosis but it did increase the

risk of heart attacks also there’s some

interesting information on calcium

carbonate lowering the thyroid function

and blocking the person’s ability to

utilize t3 which is the active form of

the thyroid hormone here are some of the

side effects loss of appetite

constipation gas nausea vomiting

decrease in hydrochloric acid I talked

about that you need HCl to absorb

calcium and the calcium being alkalyn

will decrease HCl so it’s a double-edged

sword

there are various contour

Asians to calcium carbonate one is you

don’t want to take it if you have kidney

stones or two if you have hypercalcemia

this means too much calcium in the blood

here are the symptoms increased

urination how many people get up several

times of the night and they think it’s

normal

fatigue headache abdominal pain now you

can also have a blood sugar problem in

some resistance or being a pre-diabetic

and have some of these symptoms too but

it could also come from too much calcium

in the blood and a lot of people

especially the elderly are taking this

daily calcium and mega doses thinking

that it’s gonna prevent their bone loss

when it’s actually creating other issues

now if you think about someone that is

older what do they have arthritis

calcification now you’re gonna dump more

calcium into the system might not be the

best thing to do and lastly calcium

carbonate gives a severe interaction

with 210 drugs so if you take some of

this older that has normally glow

hydrochloric acid so they’re gonna have

heartburn and they start taking this and

they’re also taking it for their bone

loss and they’re getting up urinating

all the time from this right here and

they’re usually on multiple medications

which could interfere with this it’s

just something to be aware of if you

happen to be taking this or have a

parent or a grandparent who’s taking it

have them watch this video the mineral

calcium is actually very interesting and

if you want to see a really interesting

video check out this one on calcium that

I did quite a few years ago
