Calcium – The Most Abundant Mineral in the body needed to build and maintain strong bones and help regulate muscle contraction

Vitamin D, helps the body absorb calcium and encourages the synthesis of proteins in the body.

Your body needs optimum levels of Vitamin D to absorb calcium. That means you won’t fully benefit from a calcium-rich diet if you’re low on vitamin D.

CALCIUM BENEFITS

BONE HEALTH:

Calcium is essential for the development, growth, and maintenance of bone. Around 99% of the calcium in the human body is in the bones and teeth.

Calcium contributes to the development of Children bones when they are growing. After a person stops growing, calcium continues to help maintain the bones and slow down bone density loss, which is a natural part of the ageing process.

MUSCLE CONTRACTION:

Calcium helps regulate muscle contraction. When a nerve stimulates a muscle, the body releases calcium. The calcium helps the proteins in the muscle carry out the work of contraction. When the body pumps the calcium out of the muscle, the muscle will relax.

Calcium is also necessary for maintaining healthy communication between the brain and other parts of the body

Calcium adequate level of intake is vital for all ages to nutritionally safeguard the overall health

• Vitamin D is important to the body in many other ways as well. Muscles need Vitamin D to move, for example, nerves need Vitamin D to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses.
• Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body.
• Vitamin D supports Immune System

The amount of Calcium you need varies with Age and Gender. The recommended level as per Royal Osteoporosis Society & Department of Health for any adult (19 to 64) is 700mg daily.

Department of Health in the UK suggest – Taking 1500mg or less a day of Calcium is unlikely to cause any harm.

Bone Density

Calcium contributes to the development of Children bones when they are growing. After a person stops growing, calcium continues to help maintain the bones and slow down bone density loss, which is a natural part of the ageing process.

Females who have already experienced menopause can lose bone density at a higher rate than males or younger people, Calcium supports and helps reduce the loss of bone mineral linked to menopause. A lack of calcium could lead to a condition called rickets in children, and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in later life.
