Vegan calcium issues

What do vegans have as far as calcium is concerned? I do not want to lose out on the synergistic effect it has with magnesium, C, A, K2, etc. Is enough kale able to sustain my calcium needs or will I need to supplement this, too?

if you eat enough kale.. just track it using cronometer and see if you are hitting it. i've heard supplementing calcium is not really that great.. you might want to do some more research into it though as i'm not sure. the next best bet may be to use egg shell calcium to supplement it with.

Vegans have significantly higher quality of bone structure except if they are mix eaters(bad combinations which cause acidosis) or starch over-eaters(starch is gluey to the tissues).

Calcium doesnt come so from extremely rich calcium foods ,but from avoiding the foods which deplete calcium aka meat,dairy,junk,grains etc.Calcium is an abundant alkaline mineral that must be used in presence of acidosis,to repair/patch the corrosion.
In the same way hydration doesnt come so much from water rich foods but from avoiding the foods that cause dehydration.

Utilization of calcium is a parathyroid function by way of producing parathormone.Might want to enchance the thyroid with NATURAL herbs/foods.

Thanks a lot. I have never felt this good before. Been a vegan for two years now.

why do you say dairy depletes calcium?

Grow, did your hair-loss coincide with your transition to a vegan diet? Just curious.

My diet is almost vegan and I've been careful to track potential deficiencies inc. Vitamin D, Iodine and EFA's.

Do you feel your diet has had a positive, negative or neutral effect on your hairline?

No, it didn't. I kept trying different diets and all of it ended up leading me to veganism. I am still losing my hair, but feel like it has halted it for a little.

I can't really say what type of effect the diet has had on my hairline. The insidious thing about hair loss is that hair takes forever to grow and very long to miniaturize. It is very difficult to pinpoint what is working and what isn't.

They create response to the mucosa with the production of sticky mucus that clogs sinus,lungs,thyroid etc.
When the system is clogged especially the thyroid/parathyroid ,the body cant utilize calcium.
Dairy's proteins are abrasive to our system and the body protects itself by the production of mucus.

how does mucous clog the thyroid? do you have a source for this, i've never heard this before. i agree when PTH is high, calcium can't be utilized because it's being leeched from the bones.

i had hairloss for 3 years before switching to vegan. vegan diet has neither helped nor made things worse for me. It did reduce my migraine intensity and frequency though as well as reduce psoriasis symptoms.

eat leafy greens low in oxalate and high in calcium.

i d go with bok choy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bok_choy
has good absorption rate of calcium

For those who don't eat enough green leafy vegetables, at first you will feel fantastic on a vegan diet. To be honest, veganism is as long term unhealthy (without adequate enough knowledge) as being a pure carnivore or pure supplement taker.  

I understand veganism for moral or religious reasons, but I personally wouldn't bother for health reasons. I would instead focus on a well balanced diet filled with plenty of vegetables/fruits and absent of refined carbs eating more bone and organ meat for starters.

As far as getting adequate calcium on a vegan diet, low oxalate green leafy vegetables are the number one way for both calcium, magnesium, A, C, K, folate, iron sulfur, chlorophyll etc. I eat a shit load every day.

More junk science. Bone is 1/3rd protein by weight.

Acidosis is applied *only* to kidney acidosis problems - Not applicable to normal metabolism.

Most of your message is correct though.
