Calcium – An essential mineral for bones, muscles and nerves

What is calcium?

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. About 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:

• strong bones

• muscle function

• nerve conduction

• blood clotting

• energy metabolism

Calcium deficiency – Symptoms and causes

Calcium deficiency can develop insidiously and often affects postmenopausal women, the elderly, vegans, or people with lactose intolerance.

Typical signs of a calcium deficiency:

• brittle nails and hair loss

• muscle cramps, tremors

• bone pain, osteoporosis

• increased irritability or difficulty concentrating

• dental damage or slow healing

Causes:

• Low-calcium diet

• Vitamin D deficiency

• Impaired intestinal absorption

• High magnesium or phosphate content

Calcium and Vitamin D – The optimal combination

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

Those who take calcium without vitamin D run the risk of low bioavailability – which is why many dietary supplements contain a calcium + vitamin D combination.

Calcium and Magnesium – Antagonists in synergy

Calcium and magnesium act in balance in the body:

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

Coral Calcium – A natural alternative

Coral calcium comes from fossilized coral deposits and, in addition to calcium, also contains magnesium, trace elements and natural minerals.

Advantages of coral calcium:

• natural origin

• particularly good bioavailability

• combines calcium, magnesium and other micronutrients

• ideal for people who want to avoid synthetic forms

Daily Calcium Requirement – How much calcium per day?

The answer to the question "How much calcium per day?" depends on age, gender and body condition.

Those who do not get enough from food (e.g., dairy products, green leafy vegetables, nuts) should supplement their diet with a high-quality calcium supplement.
