As a gastric bypass patient you are more than likely aware of your need to take bariatric calcium supplements. If you watch any amount of television you have surely seen commercials for different types of calcium that claims to reduce bone loss and fractures. Be sure to take these commercials with a grain of salt. Most of the claims are highly exaggerated.
These advertised calcium products try to present themselves as miracle drugs made to cure bone loss and fractures. Some make statements that they stop osteoporosis. The commercials are convincing to most people but sound fishy to those that understand calcium and how it works.
Some Drug Company Products do not Stand up to their Claims
Lawsuits have hit some major drug companies for advertising their calcium product as not only replenishing calcium into the bones and teeth but also selling to the public that it can rebuild bone. After being on the market for about five years it is becoming known that these products do not stand up to their claims.
These highly promoted and advertised drugs not only do not meet their claims–they have also been found to make the bones harder and more brittle. The bones then become more susceptible to fracture. These fractures can occur easily – from something as simple as walking.
Frequency of Fractures Increasing
Since the launch of these lines of osteoporosis drugs the frequency of fractures has seen a dramatic increase. There is a growing incidence of stress fractures. These giant drug manufacturers have over stepped their bounds.
The plain and simple fact is that there is no miracle cure. The age old expression, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” most certainly applies here.
