Green World Calcium

 

Serum calcium

Calcium plays a very important role in maintaining the normal physiological function. It is the most abundant mineral bit the body, is found in some foods added to others, available as a dietary supplements and present in some medicines (such as antacids). Calcium required for vascular contraction and vasokidation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion, though less than 1% of total body of calcium is needed to support these critical metabolic functions.

Reservoir of calcium - bone and teeth

Serum calcium is very tightly regulated and does not  flunctuate with changes in dietary intakes; the body uses bone tissuebas a reservoir for and source of calcium, to maintain constant concentration of calcium in blood, muscle and intracellular fluids. The remaining 99% of the body's calcium supply is stored in the bones and teeth where it supports their structure and function. Bone itself undergoes continuous remodelling, with constant resorption and deposition of calcium into new bone.

Calcium intakes and age

The balance bone resorption and deposition changes with age. Bone formation exceeds resorption in period of growth in children and adolescents, whereas in the early and middle adulthood both processes are relatively equal. In aging adults, particularly among postmenopausal women, bone breakdown exceeds formation, resulting in bone loss that increases the risk of osteoporosis over time.
