Calcium is the most common mineral found in your body, accounting for about 2% of your total weight. The majority of calcium, 99%, resides in your teeth & bones, however the remainder is found in nerve cells, blood, body tissues & other body fluids. Long associated with the growth & maintenance of bones & teeth, calcium is also essential for the clotting of blood & the transmission of nerve impulses. Calcium is needed for our muscles to function & to release hormones, including insulin. According to the USDA, 75 percent of Americans are not meeting daily calcium recommendations.
Calcium is the major mineral that helps strengthen bones. Children & teenagers especially need adequate calcium in their diets, as the pre-teen & teen years are when they maximize the calcium storage in their bones in order to build up & preserve the bone mass they will need later in life. This is true because peak bone mass & calcium content of the skeleton is reached during the teen years. Teens, especially girls, are at greater risk for developing weakened bones & having disabling injuries later in life. Bone calcium begins to decrease in young adulthood, & progressive loss of bone calcium occurs as we age, particularly in women. Adequate dietary calcium can help minimize this loss. A diet high in calcium appears to encourage the body to burn more fat & cuts the amount of new fat laid down by the body.
Estimates show that roughly 30 to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. People who are lactose intolerant cannot digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk & dairy products, & therefore may not be consuming enough dairy products for their Calcium needs. For individuals who either cannot tolerate any lactose or do not like dairy products, Calcium supplements may be an option. The most effective is Calcium Citrate, because it dissolves easily in the stomach & is absorbed efficiently.
