The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

you want your parathyroid hormone to be low to be the lower end of normal in fact the lower quarter of the reference range of normal is where i like to see pth parathyroid hormone
get a pth which should be low it should be in the lowest quartile because if your PTA H is above the bottom quartile I don't think you're getting enough calcium and that leads to problems
you want your pth to be really low I would say the lowest quartile um and if you're not getting calcium in your diet you should be getting calcium in your diet to balance phosphorus
serum calcium is not a great indicator of calcium status but pth is
