YAMAMOTO CALCIUM 60 CAPSULES

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our body, about 1.8% of the total weight. Overall, 99% of calcium in the body is concentrated in dentin, the substance that bones and teeth are made of. Bones not only contain calcium, but also have a very important deposition function. Calcium is mainly present in bones (98%), to a lesser extent in teeth (1%) and also in body fluids (1%).

Calcium regulates muscle contraction, intervenes in the transmission of nerve impulses and keeps the nervous system healthy. Calcium also normalizes blood circulation and regulates the work of the heart, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but also contributes to blood coagulation. Calcium is also involved in cell membrane permeability, cell multiplication and differentiation, synthesis of certain hormones and activation of certain enzymes. A truly versatile role, even if it is predominantly related to bone formation.

Daily calcium requirements vary from individual to individual, based on age, gender and physiological conditions. For adults it is 800 mg, for children (up to 10 years) 400-500 mg, for adolescents 1,000-1,300 mg, for the elderly 1,000 mg, for pregnant and lactating women 1,200-1,500 mg. Calcium, together with synergistic vitamin D, is necessary for building the bone system already in the first months of fetal development, which is why there is an increased need for pregnant women and during breastfeeding. After that, after the peak of skeletal maturity (between 20 and 30 years), the density of calcium in the bones begins to gradually decrease.

Calcium deficiency in the first years of life can cause problems mainly in the bone structure due to reduced mineral density, with the risk of bone deformation and rickets. Insufficient calcium in the diet leads to ailments ranging from simple muscle cramps (also in the stomach) to tingling in the fingers, headaches and memory deficits, irritability and nervousness. Other symptoms include dry skin, brittle nails and hair loss. More severe disorders can affect the osteoarticular apparatus, such as bone pain, fragility and risk of fracture, caries, bone decalcification in the elderly and osteoporosis in menopausal women. Excess calcium is eliminated through body secretions: feces, urine and sweat.

People who should consider calcium supplementation are:

those who avoid dairy products (due to allergies or other reasons);

menopausal women who are at risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis;

pregnant and lactating women;

respondents older than 55-60 years;

people suffering from celiac disease or other gastrointestinal problems that can cause malabsorption;

those undergoing prolonged corticosteroid treatment
