Taking Calcium for Your Bones? 6 Reasons It Can't Protect Them Alone
1.It's Not Your Fault Your Calcium Isn't Enough
Maybe you've taken calcium for years and your DEXA scans got worse. Maybe you've never had a DEXA scan and you're hoping your calcium works.
You didn't fail. The calcium did.
Calcium alone kept only 1 in 100 women from breaking a bone. The other 99 got no protection at all.
Source: A 2026 review in the BMJ of 69 trials and 153,902 people.
You're one of the 99 whether you've had a DEXA scan or not.
Many of our mothers took calcium for decades and still ended up stooped and scared of the stairs.
You and your mother deserved to hear about the other minerals years ago, but nobody told you. Your doctor was still right to make calcium your first step.
2.Your Bones Are Built From More Than Calcium
Calcium is the building material, but your bones need other minerals to use it.
Boron helps your body keep its calcium. It turns up the signal that tells your kidneys to hold on to more calcium.
Magnesium keeps old bone from breaking down faster than your body builds new bone.
Your body uses zinc, copper and manganese as its tools to build bone.
One study found that women on calcium alone kept losing bone in their spine. Women who also took those minerals gained bone.
Source: A two-year study of 59 women past menopause, published in the Journal of Nutrition in 1994 (University of California, San Diego).
Take the other minerals away and you're back to the women who lost bone.
Most women can't feel bone loss happening until one slip on a wet kitchen floor breaks a hip.
3.More Calcium Can't Make Up for the Missing Minerals
Over 70% of a 500mg calcium dose never gets into your body.
Source: A 1990 study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
You're paying for calcium that leaves in your stool.
Your body doesn't keep all the calcium that gets in either. One woman on a bone health forum warned that taking more calcium "will force it out in urine."
The calcium aisle keeps selling you more of the one mineral you already take. A bigger pill only gives you more calcium to lose while the other minerals stay missing.
A broken hip at 70 can mean weeks in a wheelchair. It can also mean your daughter coming over each morning to dress you.
4.HydroHealth Mineral Packs Put the Other Minerals in One Glass
You'd need a separate bottle for each of the other minerals. One forgotten bottle leaves your calcium working alone.
Too many women first hear about the other minerals from a hospital bed after a fall.
The Mineral Packs come in a bag of 30 sachets. Stir one sachet into a glass of water each day.
Here's what every sachet holds.
- Magnesium and boron
- Zinc, copper and manganese for building bone
- Potassium and a small 45mg dose of calcium
The small calcium dose is on purpose. Your body takes in a bigger share of a small dose.
Keep taking your calcium and vitamin D. The Mineral Packs go beside them.
5.Women Who Watched Their Mothers Get Stooped Are Starting the Mineral Packs Now
Carol is 64 and watched her mother shrink four inches. Her DEXA scan got worse after nine years of calcium.
Carol lives in Tucson and added the Mineral Packs to her calcium. She wants to keep reaching her top shelf without a step stool.
Ruth's mother broke her hip at 74 and never walked on her own again. Ruth is 67 and lives in Asheville.
"I'm taking the minerals while I can still walk on my own," she says.
These stories are dramatized to show the kind of women who start the Mineral Packs. They aren't customer reviews.
