my calcium was 10.7 with a ref range of 8.6-10.3
I do not directly supplement that, but my doctor wanted me to every other day my d3 because he felt it was reading high from my overall results....
My bloodwork overall is rather sharp. I am hinting for my last results that were sent to me as I am sure cholesterol was nowhere near that high.
Can pain and discomfort ie:stress increase cholesterol? I have had that increased a lot. Changes on the way to address it. I just really don't think going another drug off of one test is the move.

Hi Jon,
Even though your trigs are within range, they are still very high. Your diet could be playing into this. Are you eating lots of grains or fruit? You really want those under 100 or 75 to be safe. I've written a little about this here:

Also if you take vitamin D you will want to take it Vitamin K - the current thinking on this is that all these fat soluble vitamins have to be in a certain balance and the K will help keep the calcium out of places where it doesn't belong, like your arteries. I use a product by Thorne
