Protect your bone density, it's important...

I learned the hard way to watch out for vitamin D levels and calcium daily. I quit taking a one a day and stopped drinking whole milk and had a blood test done thru my specialist for my CF disease and found out I was deficient for vitamin D and my calcium was low. I immediate was put on a super D vitamin from the specialist for two weeks. After that I resumed my one a days and also started drinking whole milk (with vitamin D) again. My body feels like it needs the milk and it's good for me.

Now my levels are good. But after they had found out that they were bad they ordered a bone density test. If your vitamin D and calcium get low it can affect your bone density which would be terrible. Mine seems OK now but I don't want the risk of extended low levels of calcium and vitamin D. That could be bad.

Just some info for everyone. Cheers!

yes, it can.
Look up D3 and K2 vitamins. K2 is very important to push calcium into the bones. They work together. But you also don't want to overdo that.

I worry that if too much calcium is driven into the bones, Osteo Arthritis may result, too much bone growth.
Weaker areas like joints could get more bone deposition.

I would just eat a normal healthy diet, but I wouldn't leave out Vitamin D whole milk. Natural sources of potassium and calcium are OK, but supplements can cause overdose. My mother who was a pretty good nurse warned me about supplements.
