Calcium and Brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease
Aging Cell, 2007june; 6(3): 307-317
Two decades of research has implicated Calcium in multiple ways in brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease as discussed in this paper from the University of Kentucky.
It seems to me that it is unwise to continue to take oral calcium as a supplement. The extra vitamin D gets in all calcium you need at a natural rate and it seems that the scientific papers that accused vitamin D of causing memory problems have it wrong. It was the calcium supplement that did the wrong.
Select estrogens (Premarin) are protective against neurodegenerative insults and prevent Alzheimer’s.

This is a follow up on the use of estrogen recently and shows a distinctly positive reason to take estrogen.
