Description
THE IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM IN THE BODY Calcium is the most abundant mineral salt in the body. More than 99% of the body's calcium is found in the form of calcium hydroxyapatite in the bones and teeth, where it gives these tissues their hardness. However, calcium is also present in ionic form (Ca2+), this cation being involved in numerous reactions such as: √ Muscle contraction √ Transmission of nerve impulses √ Cellular exchanges √ Hormonal secretion... Bone acts as a reservoir and source of calcium for these metabolic needs through the process of bone remodelling. The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes with age. In ageing adults, particularly menopausal women, breakdown exceeds formation, resulting in bone loss that increases the risk of osteoporosis over time. Calcium in carbonate form for an ideal dosage. This supplement combines calcium glycerophosphate and carbonate to allow optimal assimilation and intake. Its formulation is 100% compatible with a vegetarian or vegan diet. √ One capsule provides 165 mg of calcium √ The most bioavailable form of calcium available In case of deficiency? Insufficient calcium intake can cause many problems, such as bone fragility, growth delay, muscle cramps, dental and gum problems, or kidney disorders. Calcium is often prescribed to prevent osteoporosis and muscle cramps. Some calcium salts also help relieve stomach acidity problems. Some studies indicate that calcium may be useful in relieving pain associated with premenstrual syndrome.
