A few months ago, Clematis (I believe) posted that her PTH dropped from 31 to 19 by adding some Citracal slow-release calcium into the mix. I was skeptical because it is mostly carbonate, but I had high PTH and my calcium was dropping so I was getting nervous and thought I'd give it a try.
Well, 2 months after adding one SR calcium tablet (600 mg) to my mix I report the following:
Old PTH 94. New PTH 61
Old Calcium 8.7. New calcium 9.3
I also just had a 24 kidney stone panel. All the number improved, but I did add Urocit to the mix so that most likely accounts for that.
According to Citracal, Slow release calcium is 85% carbonate, 15% citrate, and takes about 8 hours to absorb. I can only speculate on why it seems to work for Clematis and me, but numbers don't lie. I'll confirm when I get my next labs that it's not an anomaly.
Anyway, very pleased. It's especially nice that you can take them with other supplements.
Best to all,
Mark
