Calcium

Support for bones, muscles, and blood clotting

Calcium is an essential mineral involved in various important bodily functions. It is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones, where it plays a key structural role. Bone tissue is constantly being renewed, and calcium contributes to the strength and density of the skeleton.

In addition, calcium contributes to normal blood clotting, which is essential for wound healing. This process ensures that bleeding stops quickly when a blood vessel is damaged.

Calcium also contributes to the normal functioning of muscles. It plays a role in muscle contraction and relaxation, helping to facilitate smooth movements and muscle function.

Sources of Calcium

Calcium is found in both animal and plant-based foods. Good animal sources include dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, which contain easily absorbable calcium.

Plant sources include green leafy vegetables like kale and broccoli, as well as almonds, sesame seeds, and tofu. Additionally, fortified plant-based milks often contain added calcium.

Forms and Absorption

Calcium exists in different forms, with calcium carbonate and calcium citrate being the most common.

Calcium carbonate is often used in supplements and is better absorbed when taken with a meal.

Calcium citrate is more efficiently absorbed with lower stomach acid production and can be taken at any time of the day.

Calcium is absorbed in the small intestine and its absorption is enhanced by the presence of Vitamin D. Therefore, it is recommended to get adequate sunlight or consume foods rich in Vitamin D to support calcium absorption.

For optimal calcium absorption, a combination of a varied diet and adequate sun exposure is ideal.

synonyms for Calcium: Calcium, lime, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium lactate and calcium gluconate.
