What You Need To Know About Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant and the most important mineral in the body, yet it is the most difficult to get absorbed and utilized by the cells. All degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, gallstones, kidney stones, arthritis, osteoporosis, and many more have been scientifically linked to deficiencies in calcium and other minerals.
Apart from being found in the bones, calcium is also involved in transmitting nerve impulses, maintaining muscle tone, assisting in the function of hormones and enzymes as well as playing an important role in blood clotting.
Scientists have discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are mildly alkaline (high pH), whereas the body fluids of the sick are acidic (low pH). Calcium is responsible for maintaining a proper “high pH” body fluid.
To stay alive, your blood must remain slightly alkaline. When you drink a cola (highly acidic), take medications or consume foods that are acidic to the body, it uses calcium to buffer the excess acid and keep the pH of the blood slightly alkaline. If the body can't get the calcium it needs from its reserves, it takes it from the bones. This leads to more problems. Thus, calcium reserves are extremely important to maintain good health.
Are You Taking Ground Up Rocks?
Minerals are either organic or inorganic. For example, would you rather get your iron from a nail or a raspberry? The body cannot get proper nutrition from inorganic minerals; it is designed to get nutrition from living plants, like the raspberry.
Read the labels of your calcium supplement and you will be amazed to see that most calcium is sold in the form of calcium carbonate. This is an inorganic form of calcium, typically ground up oyster shells, chalk or extracted from rocks. Studies show that only about 2% of calcium carbonate is absorbed by the body!
Independent scientific studies show the body utilizes 80% to 90% of the Calcium in FoodMatrix™ Calcitone™, proving Calcitone™ to be the world's most effective form of calcium supplementation.
Calcitone™ is the only mineral supplement of its kind. It is 100% organic and bound with all the FoodMatrix™ carrier co-factors the body needs for maximum utilization. With a very precise formulation of calcium, magnesium and other minerals required for the proper mineral assimilation, this product may be a great help with fluctuating blood sugar levels.
About Bone Loss
Osteoporosis literally means "porous bones". A lack of calcium is the major cause of osteoporosis; a silent disease in which bones lose some of their calcium and other dietary minerals making them brittle and fragile. It does not give an advanced warning. Usually, the first sign is severe low back or hip pain, or a broken bone.
With aging, almost everyone experiences some loss of bone mass. However, it is more common among women than men because women have about 30% less bone mass to begin with. Also, estrogen appears to play an important part in female bone metabolism, which is why women lose bone mass at an accelerated rate during the first 5 to 10 years after menopause. Estrogen protects the skeletal system by promoting the deposit of calcium in bone.
You experience your peak bone mass around the age of 35. After the age of 35, the body creates less new bone and is less efficient in absorbing and storing dietary calcium. This results in the loss of bone mass of about 1% a year. Until you hit menopause, then you lose about 2 to 4% a year for about the next 10 years.
Once you stop producing bone mass your body still needs calcium for functions, so your body has to take the calcium from your bones leaving them brittle and fragile.
Other causes of osteoporosis are an inability to absorb enough calcium through the intestine, prolonged jaundice, a calcium-phosphorus imbalance, lactose intolerance, a gastrectomy and a lack of exercise.
Certain drugs; such as, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, thyroid medications and high doses of steroids can also be a factor in calcium loss.
Healthy bone metabolism requires a certain amount of stress on the bones. Therefore; regular exercise that gives weight-bearing bones a good workout is essential. Good bone building exercises include walking, jogging, bike riding, dancing, tennis or other activities that require moving about.
The best ways to prevent osteoporosis is to build strong bones early in life, especially under the age of 35 while still building bone mass. Then take steps to keep the bones healthy by eating more calcium rich foods or taking supplements.
A diet adequate in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C and vitamin D is the best prevention and treatment for osteoporosis. Additional minerals important to the health of your bones include boron, copper, manganese, silicon and zinc.
Calcium is the largest and most difficult molecule to utilize. It is most effective when taken in smaller doses throughout the day and at bedtime. When taken at night it will also promote a sound sleep.
Magnesium plays a role in the formation of bone metabolism. It assists in calcium uptake.
Phosphorus is needed for bone formation. A balance of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus should always be maintained.
Vitamin C is important for collagen and connective tissue.
Vitamin D is required for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization. It is especially important for normal growth and development of bones. The body manufactures vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight and is found in fortified milk and multivitamins.
