Calcium
Jalal Ahmed
Calcium
Calcium is a mineral that primarily
functions in your body by making your
bones and teeth hard (99%).
The rest (1%) is in your blood and soft
tissues, it helps;
 your muscles to contract
 your blood to clot and
 helps your nervous system work properly.
Dissolution


Calcium is dissolved in water with
difficulty and in small amounts.



It is dissolved with acids comparatively
easily but again in small quantities.
Sources of Calcium
Dolomites are the most beautiful
mountain ranges in Europe (Italy) which are
the combinations of Calcium/Magnesium
carbonates.
In addition * Limestone * Chalk* Marble
Food:
 Milk products (Cheese)
 Vegetables (Broccoli, Cabbage)
 Sardines (Fish)

Main functions of calcium
Although it performs wide range of different
functions in the human body but we can count
on two major principal effects.
 Structuring: Most of the Calcium is utilized
in structuring the human skeleton along with
collagenous fibers.
 Many cellular activities are controlled by
Calcium like enzymatic reactions and
hormone-receptor reactions.
Different body functions of Ca


Conception of the female (sperm movement) and
fertilization of the ovum(calcium vibration)



0-6 and 6-18 years is the peak time for young adults
for bone development decide their energy to work,
study & physiological health.



The movement of skeletal muscles is in the presence
of Calcium ion.
Different body functions of Ca









Diabetics (60 % suffer from Osteoporosis) Ca
metabolism is reduced.
Neurotransmission (Nervous system).
Immune System.
Heart functioning (Rhythm of Heart).
Arteriosclerosis (Primary reason of
Hypertension, CHD & CVD ).
Digestive System (GIT). Ulcers etc.
Changes in the Calcium balance
Standard range of serum Calcium is 8.5-10.6
mg/dl.
Calcium deficiency in the blood is controlled
by parathyroid hormone.
Various factors such as age, sex, nutritional
condition, illness and prescribed medication
affect the Calcium metabolism and therefore
Calcium balance.
Age factor





Calcium deficiency increases with age.
With the advance age, parathyroid hormone
level increases as a result further deficiency
occurs.
Vitamin D hormone deficiency along with
reduced kidney metabolic process results in a
poor utilization of dietary Calcium and
reduction in bone assimilation rate.
Pregnancy
Deficiency of Ca due to:
 Fetus Ca requirement increases greatly from
3rd month.
 Ca quantity in the blood increases.
As a result:
 Hypertension of pregnancy.
 Birthing Difficulty.
 Loosening of teeth.
 Malformed babies.
Lactating Mother
Due to breast feeding lot of Ca is supplied to
the baby.
If not nourished with Ca in required amount:
 Suffer from aging.
 Low immunity.
 Endocrine imbalance.
 Baby’s health endangered.
Menopause
Reasons of reduction in Calcium
reserves in post menopause are still not
known.
But hormonal changes in menopause
result in severe decline in Calcium
reserves and as a result high quantity of
Calcium is required to compensate the
losses.
Medication
Calcium metabolisation is affected by
some drugs by change in the absorption
and excretion.
Drugs
“Loop” Diuretics
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Anti Convulsants
Glucocorticoids
Antacid Preparations
Thyroid Hormone
Medications
Isoniazid (INH)

Decreased Increased
Absorption Excretion
Diet


Diet with high sodium and animal protein
increases the renal loss of Calcium.



Diet with high phosphate and fiber
decrease the absorption of Calcium from
the gut.
