Calcium, vitamin D, retinol, and K2 all work synergistically together. Vitamin D helps with absorption, but the K2 and retinol will help funnel the calcium where it needs to go. I was surprised to see this wasn't in the video. Still a good vid as always.

Only channel i have watched every second of every video. I always had my hormonal and blood tests biannually and everything seemed ok. Doctors attributed my feeling of numbness and high blood pressure to the extreme workouts and intense everyday life since my tests were all perfect. Until your "Potassium" video that is. I count my macros so i decided to count Potassium consumption for a week. I consumed about 25% less than the recommendation for my BMI not even accounting for the intensity of my routine which makes me have increased nutritional needs. I took supplements and added some more potassium sources and i feel a lot healthier ever since. Thanks again. Literal life saver.

Magnesium, Zinc, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin D, the B Vitamins,

I literally have a short outburst of “fuck yes”! every time I see a new video of yours.

Calcium is so overlooked, especially in my diet lol

Regarding bones and teeth, many nutrients are needed for these guys…. Vitamin K1 and K2, magnesium, calcium, vitamin D3, etc. If you are eating plenty of veggies, esp. green veggies, fruit, beans, nuts and seeds, before even getting into fish and dairy, you are likely already getting enough calcium. If you don’t eat much plant foods, you will need to eat more fish and dairy for calcium (eggs have a bit as well, I think?). I think some stuff like collagen is also great for bones. Bone broth, etc. If a person is eating foods rich in D3-eggs, dairy, fish, sun exposure, etc., magnesium-nuts and seeds, beans, etc., the calcium that is consumed will be much more available to the body, as described in the video. A lot of people are concerned with veggies in the chenopod or goosefoot family-spinach, Swiss chard, beets, etc., because of the oxalates, possibility for kidney stones, etc. Aren’t kidney stones just balls of not digested calcium? Some kinds of calcium are more absorbable by the body and some less…. I think it’s a very good idea to minimize chenopod veggies, only have them like once a week tops. Eggs and fish-all kinds of fish, are just SO important for good health here-bones, teeth, etc. Dairy is “ok” I think, but still not quite as great as eggs or fish. I think it’s a pretty reasonable thing to include a bit of dairy in one’s diet, but it’s more like something that should be very much on the side… I don’t think people are consuming enough beans, nuts, seeds or dark green leafy veggies. I think there’s still too much refined bread, conventional dairy, conventional meat/poultry, fried food snd sugary drinks and candy/pastries out there. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I think the most important thing with calcium is eating a variety of foods that contain it and doing that consistently. The most efficient sources for me are Jarlsberg cheese, black olives, almond milk, and smoked salmon. Then you can treat yourself now and then to chocolate milk or a milkshake and that is great because it adds variety.

@@sathvamp1 That is 100% true and that is why I only drink almond/walnut/cashew/hazelnut milk with no added calcium and unsweetened. Elmhurst brand has all of these varieties, and the only ingredients are water and the nuts. Granted they only have a small amount of calcium, but it is not artificial.

Regarding the often low absorption rates of calcium, there is another thing that may reduce this even further so is extremely important to add, namely: phytic acid present in foods. In short, this is an compound present especially in any nuts, seed, whole grain (except in processed grains like white wheat or rice) and legume that stores phosphorus within plants, but most important, also functions as an anti-nutrient. For us humans with only one stomach, the effect is that is impairs our general digestive system, inhibits enzyme production, and this compound also binds to multiple micro-nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, and... you guessed it: calcium. It was found, for example, that in societies where people consume relatively high amounts of foods containing phytic acid, people suffered more often from osteoporosis, rickets, poorly developed teeth or general tooth decay. As mentioned in the video, this is not something that will show up rapidly but instead develop on the long term. Also, including legumes, grains and nuts/seeds in every meal of the day also makes it worse, though phytic acid itself only has effects around the time of consumption. Especially also vegans are at an especially high risk due to high grain/legume consumption. On the other hand, people that rely less on these foods OR instead consume more white rice / white wheat have lower issues with the previously mentioned health complications. Traditional diets or food preparation also amends for the detrimental effects of phytic acid - which will be explained later. So, what to do? The primary compound that comes to the rescue here is called ''phytase''. Phytase is the enzyme that neutralizes phytic acid and liberates the phosphorus. This is activated according to a couple of traditional food preparation method. Not all of them are necessary but each of them further decrease phytic acid present in the food. - Soaking -> sprouting --> fermenting --> cooking - Consuming grains, legumes, nuts/seeds together with VItamin A and D (as mentioned in the video) Let's take the example of Indian dosa which are rice-lentil pancakes that are soaked, fermented and then cooked. This effectively neutralizes most of the phytic acid and makes it highly digestible. The same for the production of beer that includes soaking, sprouting, cooking and fermenting. Soaking is best done: 1. At warm (not hot) temperatures using water 2. Including some acid medium (yogurt, whey, vinegar, lemon juice) 3. Including a food that actually contains enough phytase. Legumes, wheat and rye contain plenty, whereas oats don't. For oats, adding some rye would be crucial. 4. For a sufficient duration. Several hours or overnight, for example. For bread, phytic acid reduction is A LOT higher for sourdough fermentation than when using simple commercial yeast. Nuts can be soaked using warm salty water and dehydrated/roasted afterwards. Takeaway: - Don't too heavily on whole wheat, legumes, seeds and nuts for the majority of your meals (1-2 per day is fine) UNLESS properly prepared as described above. - White rice and flour definitely have their merits for being easier to digest and not inhibiting nutrient absorption. - In case of lack of time/energy, attempt to at least soak and cook or so. Some reduction is better than nothing. Remember: soaking -> sprouting --> fermenting --> cooking. - Phytic acid does not have to be reduced by 100%. Congrats if you made it until here ;-). I wholeheartedly recommend reading more about the phytic acid if you're interested. On the website Westonprice there is a very good (but lengthy) article about it.

i've always found the graphic design in your videos to be so attractive, that it's literally part of the happy/entertained feeling i get when watching them. your choice of fonts and colours are cheeky but yet very expressive and fitting. it helps me pay attention to the information. i've always wondered where you get your illustrations from. they are so specific to the topic you're discussing. i've seen symbols and graphics on things like city-created transportation posters, where the symbols and graphics were so generic that they actually were more confusing than helpful. your symbols and graphics are the opposite: they're so specific. this makes me suspect that they're custom made for your channel!

Your video on omeg-3 fatty acids inspired me to incorporate more sardines into my diet, so I was thrilled to find out that they're a great source of calcium too

I love all of your content. You provide an amazing quality vidoe. Thank you for all the great education

Thanks for motivating me to be better 💪

I’m very grateful for this video as I can’t do dairy and have been worried about my calcium uptake. I’ve upped my sardine intake but clearly not by enough. Will go through the low calorie plants again to check but looks like spinach is getting promoted to staple.

Great video and great information to have. I've struggled with calcium deficiency in the past so it is good to know what foods I can go to reliably for calcium, espcially since I have had to remove a lot of dairy from my diet due to sensitivity.

Would love to hear more about eating the best you can on a plant-based diet!

Highly recommend an addendum covering Vitamin K2, which is just as important as D for calcium synergy. (not to be confused with K, for it might as well be a different letter). Why? K2 is a sort of a director molecule that helps guide serum calcium to the right places, bones. If you consume calcium without K2 there's a greater risk of getting calcium-based atherosclerosis or mineral deposits in places like the brain. This research in my foray for looking after my mom.

Actually I think quite a lot of drinking water has calcium in it, at least here in Hungary. In the town where we live now we have water low in calcium though so I started to have spasms especially in the morning (this water is also low in magnesium). I started to use the most concentrated source I could get. I bought medical quality CaCO3 and MgCO3 powders. I pour lemon juice on it to dissolve and get calcium and magnesium citrate solution (few gramms a day, you can calculate the needed amount from the molecular formula). In this form you can add it to any drink or moist food you like. This really helped me to eliminate the spasms so I think it works well and is very cheap and reliable :). Also if someone likes it tofu can be a good source as it is produced with gipsum (CaSO4) so it has some calcium residue in it. But with tofu you have to be careful not to overconsume phytoestogenes. Otherwise it is a good lean source of high quality protein too and can be flavoured very well as it has a plain taste by its own. :)

just a quick point on the food allergy to dairy: though not generally advertised it could be an allergy to one of the components of dairy and not necessarily all of it. In the case of Lactose intolerance its only the sugar that causes a problem so there is a developing lactose-free line of products that use an enzyme to digest all of the lactose, additionally many hard/aged cheeses are bioactive enough that by the time the cheese is aged enough for sale its lactose content is very low. Alternatively someone with a dairy intolerance could be intolerant of one of the many proteins found in milk but the two normally implicated are Whey and Casein. Whey protein is often isolated in the form of protein powder supplementation, and Casein is the primary protein in cheese. If you have trouble with Dairy experimenting with one or more of these products might provide you with an option you don't react to and can be used as a stable source of calcium for your diet. Talon has several videos on Dairy worth watching as well.

I’m in my 60s now and struggle with majority of dairy. I can just tolerate skimmed milk in tea or coffee. I can only eat hard boiled eggs occasionally and I can not eat cheese at all. I have arthritis in multiple joints and unstable ankles. And I need to limit time in the sun due to rosacea.. But from the fish I’m fine with Sardines!

Milk. As mammals milk defines us. Th idea I learned was that mothers will attached calcium to sugars that the body readily absorbs. Because of that minor bond our bodies(babies) have an easy time breaking down those molecules close to the cell for the sugar, leaving the calcium in the right place at the right time for absorption. This defines us as mammals.

Could you do a "Real Killers" episode on artificial sweeteners like aspartame and erythritol?

Took me a sec to realize but the calcium in milk appears relatively low in the chart because 100g of milk is likely less than half as much as we’d pour into a cereal bowl.
