Title: Calcium Supplements

Calcium Supplements-Fact Sheet

Calcium

A mineral found mainly in the hard part of bones,
where it is stored. Calcium is added to bone by
cells called osteoblasts and removed from bone by
cells called osteoclasts. Calcium is essential
for healthy bones and is also important for
muscle contraction, heart action, and normal
blood clotting. Food sources of calcium include
dairy foods some leafy green vegetables, such as
broccoli and collards.

Types of Calcium Deficiency
  • 1) Dietary Calcium Deficiency - Individuals who
    fail to get enough calcium intakes from their
    food suffer from this problem. In such a
    scenario, natural calcium storage in the bones
    gets depleted. Consequently, it leads to weaker
    bones. This deficiency also causes osteoporosis,
    a humped back, high risk of fractures and other
    dangerous problems.
  • Indications of Dietary Calcium Deficiency -
  • Back or neck torment
  • Bone torment
  • Bone breaks as a result of minor or no injury
  • Loss of stature
  • Stooped posture

2) Hypocalcemia
  • The second type of calcium deficiency is
    hypocalcemia. It lowers the calcium level in the
    blood. This deficiency generally occurs due to
    certain medications, or medical conditions,such
    as hypoparathyroidism. This disease is really
    hair-raising because the body tries to get the
    calcium from bones. This is to support the
    functioning of nerves, heart, brain and muscles.
  • Signs of Hypocalcemia
  • Muscle issues
  • Depression
  • Poor appetite
  • Bleeding inside the skin that appears like
    modest red dabs

Recommended Daily Dosage of Calcium
  • Did you know that the recommended daily dosage of
    calcium increases with age? Here are the daily
    recommended amounts for each age group
  • Toddlers (ages 1-3) 500 mg daily
  • Children (ages 4-8) 800 mg daily
  • Adolescence (ages 9-18) 1300 mg daily
  • Adults (ages 19-50) 1000 mg daily
  • Adults ( ages 51 or beyond) 1200 mg daily

Calcium Useful for Both Men and Women
  • The best natural supplements are beneficial for
    both men and women. There are many nutrients
    such as vitamins and minerals that are missing in
    todays diet and therefore it becomes necessary
    to look for some alternatives.
  • Listed below are some warning signs of calcium
    deficiency
  • Joints aching
  • Eczema
  • Hypertension
  • Insomnia
  • Brittle nails
  • Heart palpitations
  • Muscle cramps
  • Numbness in the legs and arms
  • Osteoporosis

How to Get More Calcium in Your Diet
  • Theres nothing complex to treating calcium
    deficiency. There are numerous ways to increase
    the daily dose of calcium without putting in much
    elbow grease. Here are three simple suggestions
  • Get Enough Vitamin D- The more vitamin D
    thats in your body, the more calcium that will
    be absorbed into your bones and blood stream. You
    can receive vitamin D from the sun, milk or
    supplements.
  • Know when and how to Take Supplements- When
    youre not getting enough calcium from your diet,
    you can turn to supplements that include Vitamin
    D. The supplements should be taken before you hit
    bed. Calcium doesnt absorb effectively when its
    consumed with a meal.
  • Go Easy on Alcohol and Sodium- Its been
    proven by research that binging on alcohol or
    sodium drives the kidney to eliminate calcium
    instead of absorbing it.

Top Facts About Calcium
  • Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.
  • Calcium is 1.5-2 of our body weight.
  • 98 of all calcium is found in our bones, 1
    in our teeth and 1 in other tissues.
  • Calcium requires many other minerals for
    healthy bone formation magnesium, boron,
    manganese, zinc, copper, silicon, strontium and
    phosphorus.
  • Calcium requires vitamins A, C, D and K for
    optimal metabolism.
  • Calcium absorption becomes less efficient
    with age.
  • Aside from osteoporosis, calcium deficiency
    can cause kidney stones and allows the body to
    accumulate lead.
  • High animal protein (very high in phosphorus)
    intakes may incrase calcium loss through the
    intestines and kidneys.
  • A very high fat intake also inhibits calcium
    absorption.
  • Hydrochloric acid helps calcium absorption in
    the duodenum where most calcium is absorbed.
