CALCIUM
Calcium performs numerous vital functions in the body. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.1 But is doesn't work alone. Calcium works with Phosphorus to build strong bones and teeth.5 Calcium needs Magnesium to regulate absorption and muscle function.4 Calcium needs Vitamin D to help improve absorption.1 Excessive intake of protein, sodium, phosphates (from carbonated beverages), alcohol or caffeine can lead to diminished calcium levels in the body.3
Dietary Sources of Calcium:
Kale, broccoli, collard greens, chinese cabbage, yogurt, milk, cheese, sardines, salmon and beans.

Calcium Overview |
|
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Excessive intake of protein, sodium, phosphates (from carbonated beverages), alcohol or caffeine can lead to diminished calcium levels in the body.

Magnesium: A Key to Calcium Absorption |
|
Magnesium is needed for calcium absorption. Calcium causes muscles to contract, while magnesium helps them relax. |

Calcium and Phosphorus for Bone Health |
|
Calcium and Phosphorus work closely together to build strong bones and teeth. The delicate balance between calcium and phosphorous is necessary for proper bone density and prevention of osteoporosis. When there is more phosphorus than calcium in the system, the body will draw on calcium stored in bones. This can lead to reduced bone mass (namely, osteopenia or osteoporosis) that makes bones brittle and fragile. It can also lead to gum and teeth problems.

Boron and Calcium |
|
Boron is important to calcium absorption and healthy bones and teeth. Boron helps to prevent the loss of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium through the urine. |

Endocrine Control of Calcium and Phosphate Homeostasis |
|
It would be very difficult to name a physiologic process that does not depend, in one way or another, on calcium. here are three major pools of calcium in the body: intracellular calcium, calcium in blood and extracellular fluid, and bone calcium. |
