Mark,
Thanks for adding this – it is so helpful! Please continue to do it for all episodes if you can.

Unless there’s a joke in there about some guy with the last name Crones, I think it should be “Crohn’s disease.”
I thought maybe they were referring to some kind of old hag. Diseases run rampant in the witching community, you know.
Hi there – great podcast as usual. Just a note, not to be picky, but it’s “Crohn’s Disease,” not “Crones.”
The disease was named for American gastroenterologist Burrill Bernard Crohn (Wikipedia). Crohn’s disease. Please correct the spelling!
I have updated the question with the correct spelling. Please note that I generally don’t correct any spelling or punctuation errors in reader questions b/c it takes so much time.
Andy, how dare you. Providing us with such a valuable FREE resource and occasionally fing up your spelling or punctuation. My suggestion would be to save you time, instead of going back and correcting your errors you work towards prevention and maybe take some additional night courses. But in the meantime ill try my best to enjoy the podcasts and blog post. You and Rob keep up the awesome WERK.
I also noticed that I then copied the misspelling into the show topics list. Sorry for the oversight!
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if Pedro Batos has any paleo info published in Portuguese? My wife doesn’t speak much english and reads and writes even less. I’d like for her to get going on a paleo diet but am not wanting to wait for the book to be translated to continental portuguese. Good luck in Denmark Robb.
Daniel
He has a ton, contact him through his site.
I am wondering the same thing, but I’m not finding any contact information for Pedro Bastos. Any advice?
Hi Robb – Do you have anything additional on the benefits of paleo Solution for Fibromyalgia
I’ve had ton’s of comments on it, have you used the search function? Folks sypically report complete resolution.
Excellent podcast as always! For healthy chip alternatives, in addition to the Jicama, I recommend Cucumber, Bell Pepper, and/or Tomato slices. For post workout Plantain and Sweet Potato chips would do the trick.
Note typo on #1: It’s Crohn’s not Crones.
I haven’t gotten chance to listen yet but, Kale chips and Mustard green chips are awesome. I’m still experimenting with oven temp but, am liking lower temps(less than the recommended online 300-350F). Forget the parchment recommended by online recipes. Instead go for mesh cooling racks that fit perfectly in cookie/jelly roll sheet. The air circulation makes it a little more forgiving. Then you can have fun with spices. A little goes a long way.
By golly if I don’t finish an entire head of Kale. F- popcorn.
I understand the Q about body temp. Although I’ve not stopped to take mine in quite awhile, I have noticed that when I go longer than about 6 hrs between meals, I’m more apt to become cold. I typically run pretty warm and, as a result, drink about 1-1/2 gallons of H2O per day to keep myself from overheating. I can usually pick up on the signs of dehydration (grogginess, warmth, etc) so I do my best to stay hydrated. I’ve read that there’s a positive correlation between insulin level and body temp.
All this alarmed me several years ago, so I went in for a glucose test. Can’t recall the name of it, but it’s the one where they take a fasting glucose reading — then I drank the syrupy crap — then return in 2 hrs for another test. I scored 53 (normal 70-119?), but the doctor totally blew it off. Still not convinced he’s not an idiot — your thoughts?
Alternative to popcorn or corn chips, which would be tasty with salsa:
::fried pork rinds::
Before you start mocking, at least try them. (Find a brand without MSG or other after-market chemical additives.)
Crispy, relatively flavor-neutral, and far less greasy-tasting than corn chips. Carb-free, too.
Delicious with guac, BTW.
Pork rinds and salsa!
haha that combo would send me STRAIGHT to the potty hahahah
My poor 13 year old (sarcasm) has ended up in the car with me for HOURS while I was listening to the Podcast. Last night she was making fun of it (or more directly, me, for listening to it all the time!) and she started quoting it:
“Robb Wolf, ADD!”
I asked her what she said and she repeated it “Robb Wolf, ADD!” I asked her if she meant “Andy Deas” and the look on her face told me she hadn’t a clue.
She explained “I thought it was Robb Wolf just admitting that he really was ADD!”
So all these podcasts, she thought you’ve started each one with your name and a clinical diagnosis of ADD. I laughed so hard I called it my workout for the day and pursued a post-workout meal.
Out of the mouths of babes…
🙂
That is FUNNY!!
Unrelated to this podcast…but an update. A few weeks ago, I had wrote in a comment about my mother suffering from nocturnal leg cramps (charley horse) specifically after eating beef. Any day she ate beef, her leg would cramp up or seize up in the middle of the night causing her a lot of pain and discomfort. It was to a point where she deliberately not eating any beef meat or products. She had no problems with pork, lamb or chicken. We had narrowed it down to beef as being the cause of these cramps through trial and error.
The past few weeks we have sourced out grass-fed organic beef…and we have success. My mother no longer has leg cramps after eating the grass-fed organic beef. So chalk this up as another reason why more people should support grass-fed beef. I suspect that my mother is one of the rare people in the population that reacts to one of the livestock grade antibiotics/hormones/drugs that is given to grain-fed cows.
Hey Robb & Andy, quick question. Got an appointment to see the doc next week. I have been very fatigued and unable to recover for awhile and also coming off of 2 month rehab for two disc herniations. I am strict paleo but am feeling some serious metabolic/hormonal issues and was wondering what tests should I ask to be run to see if my suspicions are valid. Also, the book is awesome, congrats.
Glad to see you both read my review. 🙂 Regarding to looking for something to substitute chips in chips and salsa I use fried pork rinds. 0 carbs, all fat and protein. If you have a traditional Mexican market in your area you could probably find them fried up in lard. Heaven would be fried in pork fat.
Robb,
Am sooo confused. (or maybe just missing/misunderstanding something) The prolamines in grains can be a problem. Got that.
Prolamines contain proline…right? But proline isn’t a bad thing…right? Find it in meat, dairy, eggs.
So the proline in grains is/isn’t a problem?
Is, because many of them are strung together in a specific way.
All very interesting subjects. We are really very much on the same track. Just ordered Robb’s book and preordered the new book of your friend Loren Cordain. VBR Hans
Robb and Andy- a great sub for corn chips is plantain chips! They are available in most grocery stores that service a Latino community or in Latino groceries.
Hey Robb,
I’ve got a client with a ton of issues including NAFL, and elevated liver enzymes, so I’ve got him on the standard paleo gig with recommended calculator fish oil levels (6 table spoons a day!). The problem is that he also has psoriasis, and it seems to have gotten FAR worse. I’m thinking this is the fish oil and that he’s one of those people that should have ALA instead? (In my experience most people with psoriasis respond really well to fish oil and it helps the condition)
The question is, is my thinking correct or could something else be in play? If so, what ALA source should I try for him and at what dosages?
The increase in severity is so bad as to further ruin his sleep and cause some bleeding 🙁
Man, I’d love to see an answer to this one… especially the “psoriasis has gotten far worse” part, and what to do about it!
Hint hint?
Ok, seriously, Robb, where is that shopping guide and food matrix? The only reference to it on this site are the two comments telling us it will be here soon!
shopping guide has been up for a while…
Every link I’m clicking on referencing the “getting started and shopping list” PDF, only shows the Getting Started … no shopping list.
Never mind — I’m realizing that the shopping list is build into the material in the “Getting started guide”…
Hey Robb,
This has nothing to do with the podcast, but did you see the three part series Stephen Guyenet (Whole Health Source) did on potatoes? That, plus what we know about the Kitavans has me leaning very heavily toward carbs being pretty benign for a healthy person (that is, not with a messed up metabolism, which I would agree is rare in the US).
It always bothered me that we had all these confounding factors such as carb percentage, gluten, fructose, etc. It seemed unlikely to me that they would all be equally important to health. I’ve concluded that the carb part of the equation is not what make people sick in spite of the insulin secretion that would happen. Insulin resistance is most likely not caused by insulin receptor down-regulation.
You know how the Zone would add fat to round out the calories for athletes? I think this is totally backwards now. It makes way more sense to me now to start with mostly protein and fat and then add carbs to support the level of work output you have to support. Nothing new here since you have been mentioning post workout carb feeds for some time. It’s just all starting to click for me now.
It would be cool if you could weigh in on Creatine some day. I know it is totally not part of Paleo, but you have such a wealth of information on training that I’m sure you have something interesting to say.
Best,
Matt
Matt-
Totally agree. Good stuff.
I was checking out the Chris Voigt’s web site that Stephan mentioned in his potato article at “20 potatoes a day” (http://20potatoesaday.com/). Technically, eating nothing but potatoes could be considered paleo. It’s not replicating the macronutrient ratios or the variety of food, but it is falling within the “meat, vegetables, fruit, nut and eggs” food scope. Arguably if you wanted to eat a paleo diet and attempt to do as poorly as possible, you might construct a potatoe only diet. You could probably do worse by limiting it to a veggie with less protein and fewer micronutrients, say an iceberg lettuce only – but if you constrained it to a diet where it’s realistically possible to get your normal amount of calories, potatoes only would be some paleo people’s choice I think.
If you check out Voigt’s video of “foods that he will miss” (http://www.20potatoesaday.com/videos.php?video=http://www.youtube.com/v/pnh6U2EtcjE?fs=1&hl=en_US), it seems clear he was on a SAD diet, since he’ll be missing “pop tarts, donuts, oreos, candy, bacon and beer”. Do you think his markers of health (http://www.20potatoesaday.com/linked/chris_%20pre%20diet%20vitals%20%209-24-10.pdf) will improve over the next 60 days, or is it possible to pervet the paleo diet enough that it’s worse than SAD? If you were trying to pervet the paleo diet as much as possible, what would you put in that diet?
(I think his health markers will improve but only because of the removal of bacon which is high in saturated fat – ha-ha, just kidding – but I do think potatoes only is going to do better than bacon, pop tarts and beer.)
Matt, that’s interesting – I find that this is what I have evolved to. I came to paleo from having eaten Zone for 13 years. Dropped my carbs and upped my fat. And now I do just what you are saying start a meal with protein – add about 1 block of carb only, eat unmeasured fat. Stop there if it feels about right, however often after a longer CrossFit workout, I need to add in a extra block of carbs more in my meal after. I wouldn’t call myself an athlete though – but I listen to my body and just do what feels right now. Weirdly – my cravings (if I have any) have changed from carbohydrate (Zone and pre- zone) to fat. Apart from after a longer workout, I never feel a desire to eat much carbs. But can’t imagine life without avocado, coconut cream or olive oil.
Ack! I meant GLA, not ALA…
The cortisol chapter in your book changed my life. I hate it when you know there is a problem and then read how bad the problem really is to further pound the point home. Awesome book and appreciate all you do.
Thanks for answering Cindy’s question on Hashimoto’s and autoimmune disease. As a Hashimoto’s person, it’s a topic I (unfortunately) can’t stay away from. Thyroid guru Dr. Datis Kharrazian says that studies show 50% of Hashimoto’s people have other antibodies against their own tissues. Scary stuff but drives home the point that a person with Hashimoto’s has a problem with their immune system (with thyroid complications) and not a thyroid problem. His book offers advice on modulating the immune system and his dietary recommendations – for instance no gluten, ever – are right down the line with Robb’s.
I’ve got Hashimoto’s recently diagnosed – my endocrinologist also tested me for antibodies against adrenal glands and parietal cells, fortunately negative. I do have a weak postive anti-nuclear antibody which gives me some lupus joint symptoms, so Dr K’s theory or treating Hashis firstly as an auto-immune issue makes so much sense.
The following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysqh1uzqGrc shows a kid (Cuppy Cake Boy) who has a kidney disease. He is on steroids found from an interview: http://jezebel.com/5144457/tyra-lands-interview-with-internets-cuppy-cake-boy.
I am wondering how much will a decision on changing his diet plan, like the paleo diet, will impact his situation as oppose to taking steroids for six years?
It’s sad to see people showing affection and accepting his use of a steroid for his chronic disease.
Yeesh…
I love the subtle and not so subtle digs at Matt Stones’ High Everything Diet.
Hey Robb –
One of my clients is asking if I have a good Pre-Natal vitamin suggestion…I do not. Do you have 1 or 2 you usually recommend to your slew of pregnant clients at the gym?
thx,
Kari
NewChapter has a very good one.
I’ve had very low body temp for the past 5+ years – usually in the range of 93.5-96.5, never above 97.5. I also have severe Raynauds, so I’m basically freezing year round, to the point where I have to wear a fleece and gloves on a Summer evening walk.
I’m 5mos into strict Paleo, so in my case it’s totally unrelated to my food intake or IF’ing.
I’ve always assumed it was a hypothyroid issue – I have most of the classic symptoms, but my TSH is always in the 1.5 range. I hear thyroid issues can be very tricky to pinpoint [T3, T4, TPO, etc], and my doc has the same take as Robb [just put on sweater].
Interesting to hear Robb’s take that you are better off running cooler, but I’m cold & miserable on any day with temps under 80F.
Kevin-
Obviously that low-temp has some limitations to it.
Kevin – I also have Raynauds, and Hashimotos.
Have you had your anti-bodies tested? My other tests TSH, T4, T3 are borderline /normal, but my anti-bodies are high. Apart from being a bit low in body temp, and Raynauds, I don’t have any other symptoms. I’ve recently increased my fish oil, alpha lipoic acid and magnesium to see if it helps. Although paleo helped a mass of small issues, the Raynauds has stayed fairly consistent, perhaps slightly worse. My guess is fish oil makes the most difference (a few studies show levels above 3000mg day show this) as when I went paleo I decreased my dose a lot, as my other inflammation cleared up. So I’ve just put it back up to pre-paleo levels again. .5g per 10lb body weight.
Julianne –
I suspect I have Hashimoto’s or something – I have tons of autoimmune stuff going on. The only thyroid test I’ve ever had is the TSH, which is always normal [~1.5]. I’ve been pushing my GP to run more tests [T3, T4, TPO, etc], but he sees no value.
I googled “thyroid antibody tests” and came up with these:
TRAb – Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody
TgAb – Thyroglobulin antibody
TPOAb – Thyroid peroxidase antibody
Are these the tests you had run?
As for Raynauds, have you seen any improvement with the increased fish oil, ALA & magnesium?
Thanks
My doctor ran TgAb – Thyroglobulin antibody TPOAb – Thyroid peroxidase antibody – both of where high.
He tested them because my TSH was 5 (too high)
Get a copy of Dr Kharrazian’s book and see if you fit one of the thyroid patterns.
Raynauds – hard to tell now because it’s getting quite warm, and it only happens in colder weather, or swimming in cold water which I dislike!
Yo fellas, kale chips and salsa — Paleo goodness. Ya-hoo!

Hey Robb & Andy,
Thanks for everything. You two have given us much of the information necessary to change our lives for the better over the past year, and we could never thank you enough for that. The husband and I are working to help as many people as possible see the positive affects of going Paleo. One of our friends is an endurance athlete. She enjoys running marathons…yuck! Anyway, she’s thinking about going Paleo, and I’m not sure what to tell her as far as nutrition beyond the basic introductory 30 day challenge. Would you please give specific advice for an endurance athlete/marathon runner on Paleo? Thanks so much!
Gentlemen,
Firstly, I’d like to boast that my copy of the book arrived on Thursday. I will make the bold claim that I am the first recipient in the Middle East! (My goodness could they use more copies out here- perhaps some sort of humanitarian aid-drop).
A suitable tagged facebook brag will be organised this week.
Secondly, while I haven’t finished the book yet (reading it in my godfather’s Glaswegian accent is slowing me down a bit) I am thoroughly enjoying the (I presume) unintentional humour in repeated references to ones “fanny”. May I point out that for most of the English-speaking world outside North America, “fanny” refers to a different, although geographically proximate part of the female anatomy. You may want to edit the seminar slides before hitting the UK, Oz and NZ.
Thirdly, with this podcast you two have exiled me from the willing 50% into the difficult 25% with your admonishments against tea with milk. It is very nearly a religious sacrement. May I also point out that if it wasn’t for the British-spawned love of tea (with dairy) you chaps wouldn’t have had an excuse to rebel against your lawful King and get the whole 1776/Lexington/United States of America effort off the ground.
Tane-
I think one copy landed in Afghanistan ahead of yours…close second though.
I just found out what “fanny” means in the UK! It looks like the book may make it to the porn category soon.
I think the whole rebellion started over tea! Milk or otherwise.
Afghanistan is in Central Asia, so I am still claiming the “1st In The Middle East” title.
It would have been beyond all doubt if Amazon UK hadn’t dropped the ball on delivery.
As for the Revolution/Rebellion/Treason: If you had all kept the tea-with-milk faith you too could have Prince Charles as your next Head of State.
Robb and Andy,
Had to write in after listening to your “chronically underfed” answer. Hit much too close to home. I’m a 29-year old 6’0″, 192, 16% bodyfat guy. That’s not abysmal but could be better; as such, I’m working hard to lean out (as you would say, I’m DOing it). But I’m very much affected by my own personal journey, which has demonstrated success with hunger and chronic-cardio.
I graduated from college weighing something substantially more than 300#. Through an Ornish-style diet I quickly dropped 60, and took off chunks of 20 as I picked up long distance cycling and eventually running. I watched my calories, ramped up my physical activity level to the point I had little time for anything else, and generally succeeded.
I’ve been stuck in the 185-205 range for quite a while, wanting to do more with my life than log miles, and come to the paleo camp because you give me the geek speak that makes me feel like an educated consumer of life. But I’m terrified of “going with the flow” and “eating when I want” and “working out when I want” since it caused me 20 years of abject misery to start my life.
So, for someone like me, who is somewhat new to paleo, really wants and needs to lean out, and has a history of disordered eating and whose mental game is off, can you please provide a simple roadmap for the “active pudgy” guy to lean out? Assume full paleo shtick, great sleep, etc: what types of calorie deficits are good and bad? What percentage of deficit should come from eating and what from extra physical exertion?
This sort-of “advanced beginner to paleo” would be hugely helpful and, I admit, I was very sad not to see it in the book. Your sage advice would be highly appreciated.
Best,
Classical Sauce
I’m also looking for more specific guidance, not necessarily as prescribed and delineated as a Eades or whatnot, but something more than satiety. That doesn’t work for some folks. There has to be some science for people who are trying and tweaking and doing it. Even if it’s as simple as x calories per pound of lean body mass; what should we do?
Hi Robb –
I mentioned my elderly parents (78, 79) have been eating paleo for the last few weeks. They’ve been eating zone meals for the last 13 years, and added paleo choices recently. (although they still eat a little soy like tofu.)
Mu mother has lupus, not too severe, but it affects her lungs and joints and she has small airways disease.
Anyway – it is vastly improved, no more coughing, much better lung capacity, she can keep up with my dad tramping now, and she used to have to stop to catch her breath all the time.
My father (a doctor) is quite astounded.
That is awesome! Would you mind writing that up so we can do a blog post on it?
Hi Robb,
I sent it a write-up via your contact (for special snowflakes) just now.
Robb, in addition to the small airways disease improvement on paleo, (by the way I saw my parents yesterday and they are still amazed by it) my mother has noticed another interesting change – she used to get erythema – a red rash on her lower legs after hiking for 4 hours. She has been on a tramping trip last week (several hours a day) and none of the usual redness. Interesting and weird!
Improved response in inflammation. Good stuff!
“Tramping” eh, Julianne? You must be from Aotearoa.
Yep, Kiwi born and bred. Mum and Dad (no Mom and Pop here!) Go tramping in the bush (Waitakeres) every week. They take their camper van (not some big RV, just a normal Nissan van that has been retrofitted with gas camping stove, fold out bed, water and pop up roof)into a camping ground for an overnight stay midweek. Tramp for a couple of hours one day and 4 or 5 the next. Get a huge sleep.
It’s their time out each week. My dad still works part time as a psychiatrist, and has a lot of church community commitments on the weekend. (My father is known at work for being able to complete sudoku puzzles and attend to what’s being said in meetings at the same time)
They love their time out in the bush and tramping. They also come camping with us in summer, roughing it with tents, cold showers and long drops like everyone else. (It’s a vehicle free camp ground right on the beach front up north) They bring their boogie boards and like body surfing too. Not your ordinary old folks.
Robb-
Whats up with Dr.Ron Rosedale’s cause against protein? He seems to think it accelerate’s aging, can lead to insulin and leptin resistance etc. Heres the article where he discusses it. There is also an mp3 link, at the top of the article, to a lecture he gave on it.
http://www.meandmydiabetes.com/2010/05/07/ron-rosedale-protein-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/comment-page-1/
Very interested to what you have to think about that.
Ben
Ben-
I’m on the road, will try to get back to this but without reading the article is largely flys in the face of what I’d recommend. Can we slow aging with a low protein diet? perhaps, but then are we adding more carbs (bad idea) or fat (likely a good idea)? Then we are simply talking a CRAN approach which might extend life…but at what QUALITY?
I am really interested in your take on this as well. The verbage on the site is just a transcript of the Rosedale podcast I believe.
He talks about protein stimulating the MTor pathway – stuff about glutamine and methionone (sp?) I would be really interested in your take on the MTor thing because there isn’t a whole lot of “accessible” (dumbed down for me) stuff on the net. Nora Gedgaudas talks about this MTor stuff a lot as well.
I think they both promote very low carb, moderate protein (like max 1 gram per kilo of LBM) and high fat.
While the implications of mTor are interesting, I think athletes, resistance training, and overall volume change everything. At this point, I’m not about to change anything with myself or my clients.
It is some intriguing food for thought, though.
Robb-
Totally agree. Lower protein certainly has its place, typically with individuals who have medical issues.
from the article:
“Continual high levels of insulin and leptin cause insulin resistance and leptin resistance”- Ron Rosedale
I’m just not sure I believe this anymore. Its like the researches who say saturated fat leads to insulin resistance. What there not getting is the difference between physiological and pathological insulin resistance. Peter at Hyperlipid has several great posts on this.
http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/search/label/Physiological%20insulin%20resistance%20(7)%20and%20palmitic%20acid%20again
If a high glucose load caused insulin resistance (from carbohydrates foods or gluconeogenesis ala Ron Rosedale) then wouldn’t we see this in cultures with high carbohydrate diets….Kitavans? I think to accomplish this you need at least to of the following: fructose, LA & wheat, with adequate calories.
Interested on your take. I think Rosedale is just taking this protein issue too far.
Agreed. Will get into this when I get home.
hey guys,
I’ve started telling my friends and co-workers about this stuff and I am really seeing the resistance you guys have been talking about, man people get nasty when they are told eating their morning corn flakes is no good! amazed how attached people are to eating grains…not even going to go into the conversation i had with my cube neighbor who is a vegetardian
Robb,
trying to convince a co-worker to elminate grains came back with this:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/health-gains-from-whole-grains/
how do I explain that 100% oats are bad?
Tell them to try for a month.
That was one of the first things I said; give it a shot for a month, if you like how you look/feel/perform let me know, before shooting it down…response was: I love rice and I’m not giving up my oats. I then told him to try it for just a week (baby steps) couldn’t even get that, he questioned why would oats be bad, if mayo clinic etc say its ok? I replied with yeah, but most people are fat, clearly there is some misinformation being spread…oh well, can’t make the horse drink
Hey robb,
I was reading a series of articles written on how insulin is very misunderstood and unfairly treated, (articles were re-posted here – http://www.worldclassbodybuilding.com/forums/f14/james-krieger-insulin-an-undeserved-bad-reputation-80911/), and what the guy is saying seems to be contradicting many things you have said, particularly about low carb diets for type 2 diabetics, gary taubes, dairy and fat loss, as well as high carb diets and hyperinsulinemia. Would you be able to clarify some of the points he makes? Like you’ve always said cutting out dairy is important to lean out because of the insulin response, and while he agrees that dairy has a huge insulin response, he says that it would actually help fat loss (something I’ve also heard). He also discusses stuff about glucagon and how the idea of that balancing out protein induced insulin spikes isn’t founded in anything applicable to humans.
…so confused..please help.
Cheers,
Brad.
Oops, looks like the direct link from the forum before about insulin isnt working, here’s the links to the 4 part series directly from the guys blog.

Hey Robb and Andy! Keep the podcasts comming…they are awesome! I have a quick question about Natural Calm. They have two kinds at the organics store in my area, the Original Natural Calm and the Natural Calm plus Calcium which they seem to be pushing more for the sports crowd. The main difference is added Calcium (230 mg), Potassium (115mg), Vit C (290 mg), Vit D3 (115 IU), and a trace amount of Boron. I have been getting the “sports” blend because, well, I lift and do Jits and I consider that a sport.
What are your feelings on the difference? Is one better? Is the plus Calcium “sports” blend more marketing BS.
Thanks as always!
Natural Calm site (WFS)
http://www.petergillham.com/wp/2010/01/natural-calm-plus-calcium/
I usually do not see a need for calcium but I’d try both and see what you like. I’ll give the sports blend a shot next time.
I’d try both. I’ll give the sport a shot on my next bottle.
