BONIVA FOR BONE DENSITY?

The most common side effects of Boniva

How many of you are taking Boniva?

Bone density is something most women over 45 have to really be concerned about. Sally Fields does a really great job of promoting Boniva in her latest TV commercial. She crawls around on the floor with the children (what does that have to do with bone density anyway?) and after watching that TV commercial we all want to take Boniva so we can be just like Sally Fields. After all, she hasn't aged in 30 years. She is slim, beautiful, limber and looks like she is 25 years old! Did Boniva do all that? It is a great advertisement, but it is bone density we are looking to find results for. Let's look at the side effects that they quickly run through at the end of the commercial. They run through them so fast it is hard to remember them all . . . . .

The most common side effects of Boniva include:

Back pain -- in up to 13.5 percent of people
Indigestion or heartburn -- up to 11.9 percent
Bronchitis -- up to 10 percent
Arm or leg pain -- up to 7.8 percent
Abdominal pain (stomach pain) -- up to 7.8 percent
Diarrhea -- up to 6.8 percent
Headache -- up to 6.5 percent.

Other Boniva side effects include:

Infections
Weakness
Vomiting
High cholesterol
Muscle pain
Arthritis
Dizziness
A spinning sensation (vertigo)
Pneumonia
Sore throat
Bladder infection (urinary tract infection or UTI)
Constipation
Insomnia
Throat pain, chest pain, or difficulty swallowing (which may be signs of ulcers of the esophagus)
Severe heartburn or heartburn that does not go away
Severe bone, muscle, or joint pain
Jaw or tooth problems
Signs of an allergic reaction, including unexplained rash, hives, itching, and unexplained swelling.

Unfortunately, there is no way for your health care provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried.

If blood calcium levels are too low, the body will break down bone and teeth to increase the blood calcium levels. If the blood levels are high, then the body uses the extra calcium to rebuild bone and teeth.

Most of the symptoms that might occur due to a calcium deficiency would be seen only if calcium levels are low in the blood. Because the body is very good at keeping the blood calcium levels steady (often at the expense of bone strength), most people will never experience any symptoms of a deficiency until their bones are significantly weakened.

The recommended Adequate Intakes (AIs) for calcium include calcium from all sources, including from food or from supplements.

Why not just eat calcium-rich foods or supplement with a calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D combination product which is MUCH safer than drugs like Boniva by the looks of it!

As you might guess, taking a calcium supplement is very effective for treating calcium deficiencies. When taking calcium by mouth, it is important to take no more than 500 or 600 mg in a single dose, since the body can only absorb a certain amount of calcium at one time. In order to get the proper calcium dosage, you may need to take it several times a day. You also need a calcium supplement that also contains Magnesium and Vitamin D for optimum absorption. Also, be sure to take your calcium with a meal, as calcium is best absorbed in an acidic environment (and food increases stomach acid production).

Cal-Mag provides GNLD's unique amino-acid-chelated calcium to improve absorption in a 2-to-1 ratio with magnesium, a mineral which plays important roles in numerous enzyme systems and in regulating the cardiovascular system and muscle contraction. Three capsules also contain 400 IU of Vitamin D from fish liver oil which is 100 percent the daily value for adults. Most people don't receive enough of this vitamin in their diet partly due to lack of sunshine in the wintertime.
