1. Calcium Supplements-Fact Sheet

2. Calcium
A mineral found mainly in the hard part of bones, where it is stored. Calcium is
added to bone by cells called osteoblasts and removed from bone by cells
called osteoclasts. Calcium is essential for healthy bones and is also important
for muscle contraction, heart action, and normal blood clotting. Food sources
of calcium include dairy foods; some leafy green vegetables, such as broccoli
and collards.

3. Types of Calcium Deficiency
1) Dietary Calcium Deficiency: - Individuals who fail to get enough
calcium intakes from their food suffer from this problem. In such a scenario, natural
calcium storage in the bones gets depleted. Consequently, it leads to weaker bones.
This deficiency also causes osteoporosis, a humped back, high risk of fractures and
other dangerous problems.
Indications of Dietary Calcium Deficiency : -

Back or neck torment

Bone torment

Bone breaks as a result of minor or no injury

Loss of stature

Stooped posture

4. 2) Hypocalcemia
The second type of calcium deficiency is hypocalcemia. It lowers the calcium level in the
blood. This deficiency generally occurs due to certain medications, or medical
conditions,such as hypoparathyroidism. This disease is really hair-raising because the
body tries to get the calcium from bones. This is to support the functioning of nerves,
heart, brain and muscles.

Signs of Hypocalcemia

Muscle issues

Depression

Poor appetite

Bleeding inside the skin that appears like modest red dabs

5. Recommended Daily Dosage of Calcium
Did you know that the recommended daily dosage of calcium increases with age? Here are
the daily recommended amounts for each age group:

Toddlers (ages 1-3): 500 mg daily

Children (ages 4-8): 800 mg daily

Adolescence (ages 9-18): 1300 mg daily

Adults (ages 19-50): 1000 mg daily

Adults ( ages 51 or beyond): 1200 mg daily

6. Calcium: Useful for Both Men and Women
The best natural supplements are beneficial for both men and women. There are many
nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are missing in today’s diet and therefore it
becomes necessary to look for some alternatives.
Listed below are some warning signs of calcium deficiency:

Joints aching

Eczema

Hypertension

Insomnia

Brittle nails

Heart palpitations

Muscle cramps

Numbness in the legs and arms

Osteoporosis

7. How to Get More Calcium in Your Diet
There’s nothing complex to treating calcium deficiency. There are numerous ways to increase the
daily dose of calcium without putting in much elbow grease. Here are three simple suggestions:

Get Enough Vitamin D- The more vitamin D that’s in your body, the more calcium that will be
absorbed into your bones and blood stream. You can receive vitamin D from the sun, milk or
supplements.

Know when and how to Take Supplements- When you’re not getting enough calcium from
your diet, you can turn to supplements that include Vitamin D. The supplements should be taken
before you hit bed. Calcium doesn’t absorb effectively when it’s consumed with a meal.

Go Easy on Alcohol and Sodium- It’s been proven by research that binging on alcohol or
sodium drives the kidney to eliminate calcium instead of absorbing it.

Aside from osteoporosis, calcium deficiency can cause kidney stones and allows the body
