Chad I think I'd rather take something like that to ward off the artery calcification instead of taking it after the calcification is already there.
Why I'm saying this is - a friend has osteoporosis, she was on fosamax for 5 years and was then taken off it, she did not want to take anything else so the endocrinologist told her to take Alive which is plant based calcium and other stuff - well she is now using a walker due to a couple compression fractures one is T12 and I can't remember the other one. No problems while on fosamax but once off it and on plant based calcium she got the compression fractures. As soon as she told me she had the T12 compression fracture I knew it was due to osteoporosis and not taking proper med to help and her surgeon told her the same thing.
