An ongoing controversy in oxalate research involves the degree to which food oxalates interfere
with calcium absorption from those foods.

Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (as
with inflammatory bowel disease) can be especially detrimental to bone health, because it can prevent
absorption of important bone - building nutrients such as
calcium and vitamin D. Another inflammatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, can also have implications because it limits people's physical activity and can keep them
from performing weight - bearing, bone - strengthening exercises.
Along
with calcium, you also get a good amount of magnesium
from each serving, which promotes the
absorption of potassium and
calcium in the body.
This makes vitamin K2 supplementation critical, particularly if people are also supplementing
with calcium and D. Your body needs the tools necessary to appropriately manage all the extra
calcium entering the blood stream as a result of enhanced
absorption from the D and higher intake
from the
calcium supplements.
Dr. Herta Spencer, of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Hines, Illinois, explains that the animal and human studies that correlated
calcium loss
with high protein diets used isolated, fractionated amino acids
from milk or eggs.19 Her studies show that when protein is given as meat, subjects do not show any increase in
calcium excreted, or any significant change in serum
calcium, even over a long period.20 Other investigators found that a high - protein intake increased
calcium absorption when dietary
calcium was adequate or high, but not when
calcium intake was a low 500 mg per day.21
I have read there is something in it that interferes
with calcium absorption and that it also affects the
absorption of
calcium from other foods eaten
with the oatmeal, such as
calcium fortified non-dairy milk.
It helps
with absorption of
calcium from foods other than dairy which is especially useful to lactose intolerant individuals.
Even though plant foods, especially green leafy vegetables, are high in oxalates, in a normal person the oxalates are poorly absorbed, because in the intestine almost all of this substance is in the insoluble form of
calcium oxalate.67 Fats
from meat or any other source will assist the
absorption of oxalates by forming so - called «soap complexes»
with the
calcium found in the
calcium oxalate present in foods.

calcium from cow's milk, fortified plant milks, and
from tofu made
with calcium sulfate.
I am 54 years of age
with an

from experience the best way to get your
calcium and K2 is the food way.
Coffee or tea
with a meal or an hour later (as opposed to an hour before), phytates (like in legumes, whole grains) and
calcium (both supplemented and
from dairy) can all inhibit iron
absorption — though recent studies suggest that the inhibition
from phytates can be counteracted by ascorbic acid and that
calcium's effect on iron
absorption is short term.
Vitamin D supplementation is necessary to assist
with the
absorption of dietary
calcium from the gastrointestinal tract.
This has to do
with the regulation of
calcium absorption in puppies — they can not protect themselves
from absorbing excess dietary
calcium like adult dog's body can [16, 17].
