A mineral of the highest level in human organism. Calcium and phosphorus act together for strong bones and teeth. On the other hand, calcium and magnesium work for the good status of the cardiovascular system. Almost all the quantity of calcium and phosphorus is localized in the teeth and bones of the human being. Approximately 20% of the bone calcium of the adult people is absorbed and replaced every year. The formation of new bones cells takes place parallel with the dissociation of the old ones. The ratio between calcium and phosphorus in the human organism is to be 2:1. Calcium combines with the phosphorus resulting in hard crystal-like substances in the shape of “a lattice” on which the strong teeth and bones are formed. When the calcium level in the nutrition supplement is low, the bones suffer because the body has to “steal” calcium from them in order to perform other vital functions, explains John Andersen, doctor of science, professor in nutrition in the Colleges of Public Health and Medicine in the University of North Caroline. 99% of the calcium in your body is stored in the skeleton.
Not only do bones and teeth need calcium; also, your heart to beat normally, your blood not to coagulate and every nerve and muscle cell of your body to have normal functions. Your organism needs enough quantity of vitamin D so that the mineral can be absorbed. The recommended ration of calcium varies between 600 and 1200 mg.
Positive effects: It keeps the bones and teeth strong; helps the normal heart function; relieves the problem of insomnia; stimulates the metabolism of ferrum; aids the nervous system.
Diseases with lack of calcium: Rickets, Osteomalation, Osteoporosis
Toxicity: The daily dosage exceeding 2000 mg can result in Hypercalcaemia, in appearance of constipation and increase of infection of urinary canals .
Incompatible with: big quantities of fats; chocolate, spinach, beetroot, parsley containing oxalic acid and cereals containing phytic acid which prevent the normal absorption of Calcium.
Recommendations: Calcium supplement may be useful for your back pain. After intensive dosage of Calcium those suffering from menstrual spasms may frequently feel relieved. If you drink quantities of fizzy soft drinks, bear in mind that due to the high content of phosphorous you risk to reduce the calcium in your body and increase the possibility of developing osteoporosis. The calcium is optimally efficient if combined with vitamins A, C and D, Fe, Mg and phosphorous. The combination of calcium, vitamins C and D can contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis.
