The Benefits of Calcium

Calcium is one of the first elements in the body to drift out of balance due to an inadequate diet. It is also the most abundant mineral in the human body. A man weighing 150 pounds contains approximately 3 pounds and 12 ounces of calcium in his body. Calcium is primarily stored in bones (99%), where the ratio of calcium to phosphorous is nearly constant at slightly greater than 2:1.

Vitamin D and magnesium are essential to the proper absorption and assimilation of calcium. The total content of calcium in the body is renewed approximately every six years. It is an alkaline positive mineral that has a powerful attraction to oxygen. Other elements with which calcium readily associates are sulfur, silica and carbon. Calcium also helps maintain a balance between sodium, potassium and magnesium.

Calcium is used in bone formation, also known as bone mineralization, and in the proper formation and maintenance of teeth. It aids the blood-clotting process and helps control the passage of fluids through cells. Calcium is involved in numerous vital functions throughout the body, including: protein and fat digestion, energy production, nerve transmission, neuromuscular activity, and vitamin B12 absorption. It is also related to proper functioning of the heart and neuromuscular system. It is important in nerve impulse transmission, and blood coagulation.

Calcium is required for the release of energy for muscular contraction, mediates the transport function of cell and organ membranes, effects the release of neurotransmitters at synaptic junctions, and mediates the synthesis, secretion and metabolic effects of hormones and enzymes. This mineral also helps regulate muscle tone, muscle receptiveness to nerve stimulation and the regulation of the heartbeat.
