Calcium – A vital mineral for bones, muscles and nerves

What is calcium?

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Approximately 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth , while the remainder performs important functions in the blood, muscles, and nerve cells.

A balanced calcium level is crucial for:

• bone health

• muscle function

• nerve conduction

• blood clotting

• energy metabolism

Calcium Deficiency – Symptoms and Causes

A calcium deficiency can develop gradually and often affects postmenopausal women, older people, vegans, or people with lactose intolerance.

Typical signs of calcium deficiency:

• brittle nails and hair loss

• Muscle cramps, tremors

• Bone pain, osteoporosis

• increased irritability or difficulty concentrating

• Tooth damage or slow healing

Causes:

• Low-calcium diet

• Vitamin D deficiency

• Impaired absorption in the intestine

• high magnesium or phosphate content

Calcium and Vitamin D – The optimal combination

Vitamin D with calcium is a proven combination, as vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in the intestine and supports its incorporation into the bones.

Those who take calcium without vitamin D risk poor bioavailability – therefore, many dietary supplements contain a combination of calcium and vitamin D.

Calcium and magnesium – antagonists with synergy

Calcium and magnesium work in balance in the body:

An ideal ratio is approximately 2:1 or 3:2 (calcium to magnesium). High-quality supplements, such as those from MST Nutrition , offer precisely this balance.

• particularly bioavailable

• combines calcium, magnesium and other micronutrients

Daily calcium requirement – ​​How much calcium per day?

The question "How much calcium per day?" depends on age, gender and health status.

Those who do not consume sufficient amounts of calcium through their diet (e.g., dairy products, green vegetables, nuts) should supplement with a high-quality calcium supplement .
