However I can say that I know several people who have been taking Lithium Orotate at doses of 125 to 500 mg per day for 8+ years without any problems, but that doesn't mean there isn't a connection with your patient. Are you sure that your patient is taking lithium orotate and not lithium carbonate or lithium citrate? I ask because the 17 mg dosage you mentioned seems very low for lithium orotate, and more in line with the prescription versions. Also, have you ruled out Primary Hyperparathyroidism? In any case, I'll pass your question on to some M.D.'s familiar with LO and see if they can be more helpful. Regards, Jim English Dear Meg,

She has moderate hypercalcemia and an inappropriately normal PTH at 55. Have you observed hyperparathyroidism with lithium orotate similar to that observed with lithium carbonate. Thank you.

In other words, part of your calcium intake goes to making spurs and not just to the healthy structure and function benefits that calcium provides. Taking additional calcium in supplemental form would only likely worsen spurring for you. And Vitamin K2 or K3 as a supplement is also not so necessary as adequate amounts are easy to get in leafy green vegetables plus its use for bone building as a supplement is not so clear. OsteoPhase appears to work by helping regulate how your body uses calcium, so that adequate dietary intake of calcium is enough to support healthy bone tissue and growth. There are many articles at www.nutritionreview.org explaining how this works. Dear Annie,

Also, maybe you would know this question! When I take Vitamin K2, or 3, I get leg Cramps, and when I take Calcium I get Heel Spurs? My circulation is excellent. Thank you.. Hello,
