Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I believe in the value of taking calcium. I've been taking Calcium supplements (usually Oscal) for most of the past 25 years. During my lifetime most of my doctors have discouraged me from spending $ on supplements.
My reasons for taking them are: My grandma and later my mom developed thin bones and they both suffered numerous fractures beginning in their 50's. I took calcium just to make mom stop nagging & I figured it would not hurt me. Plus I have never consumed much calcium in my life. I always hated milk, cheese, yogurt, etc & my intake was well below recommendations.
Age 55, I had my 1st bone scan. Doctor was shocked! He said I had the bones of a 30 year old. He bombarded me with questions about my lifestyle and the only thing I could say was I've taken calcium for years. He did not believe the calcium helped.
Years later: I just had another bone scan. My bones are still good. Doctors are puzzled because my illness (for several years & ongoing) requires I get lots of medicines/treatments that are known to weaken and destroy bone mass. Yet my bone mass is still better than most women my age.
Does Oscal help? I think it does.
