REQUIRED CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT

Required Calcium Supplement: Calcium is a mineral that is necessary for life. In addition to building bones and keeping them healthy, calcium enables our blood to clot, our muscles to contract, and our heart to beat. About 99% of the calcium in our bodies is in our bones and teeth. MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT BRAND Required Calcium Supplement: Every day, we lose calcium through our skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and feces. Our bodies cannot produce its own calcium. That’s why it’s important to get enough calcium from the food we eat. When we don’t get the calcium our body needs, it is taken from our bones. This is fine once in a while, but if it happens too often, bones get weak and easier to break.

UNHEALTHY BONES

Unhealthy Bones: Our bones support us and allow us to move. They protect our brain, heart, and other organs from injury. Our bones also store minerals such as calcium and phosphorous, which help keep our bones strong, and release them into the body when we need them for other uses.  There are many things we can do to keep our bones healthy and strong. Eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, getting plenty of exercise, and having good health habits help keep our bones healthy. MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: MOST RECOMMENDED CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Unhealthy Bones: If we don’t eat right and don’t get enough of the right kinds of exercise, our bones can become weak and even break. Broken bones called fractures can be painful and sometimes need surgery to heal. They can also cause long-lasting health problems. Getting too little calcium can increase your chances of getting osteoporosis. Not getting enough vitamin D can also increase your risk f...

CALCIUM FOR BONES

Calcium for Bones: Bones play an important part in the overall function of your body. They provide a frame for your body, they protect vital organs such as your heart, and they even produce blood that is used by your body.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF BONES TO BREAK

Image
What are the causes of bones to break: A broken bone or fracture happens when excessive force applied to your bone causes it to break or shatter. Some fractures break the bone completely, while others just cause a crack in the bone. Fracture types vary depending on the circumstances of the injury and the amount of force applied to the bone. A fracture is a broken bone. A broken bone is a fracture. While many people believe that a fracture is a "hairline break," or a certain type of broken bone, this is not true. A fracture and a broken bone are the same thing.  MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: MOST RECOMMENDED CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT What are the causes of bones to break: Bones are very strong. Their design allows them to absorb pressure if you fall or you’re in an accident. But your bones can only absorb so much pressure before breaking.

BENEFITS OF CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT

Image
Benefits of Calcium Supplement: The amount of calcium you need from a supplement depends on the amount of calcium you get from food. Aim to get the recommended daily amount of calcium you need from food first and supplement only if needed to make up for any shortfall. If you can’t get enough calcium from the foods you eat, then you need to take a supplement.  MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Benefits of Calcium Supplement: Calcium supplements may have several health benefits. Calcium supplement may help prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women.  After menopause, women lose bone mass due to a decline in estrogen. Luckily, supplements may help. Several studies have suggested that giving postmenopausal women calcium supplements usually around 1,000 mg per day may reduce bone loss by 1–2%. The effect seems to be greatest in women with low calcium intakes and during the first two years of taking supplements. MORIK...

PREVENT BONE LOSS

Image
Prevent Bone Loss: Any time old bone is broken down faster than new bone is made, net bone loss occurs. Bone loss can lead to low bone density (osteopenia), weakness of the bone, and eventually osteoporosis. This can lead to bone fractures (broken bones), even with minimal trauma. By the time a fracture occurs, the bone loss is serious. Women over age 50 and men over age 70 have a higher risk of osteoporosis than younger women and men. For women, a drop in estrogen at the time of menopause is a major cause of bone loss. For men, a drop in testosterone as they age can cause bone loss. MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: MOST RECOMMENDED CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Prevent Bone Loss: After about 35 years of age, mineral losses begin in both men and women. Many different supplements have been shown to be essential in maintaining healthy mineral deposits in the bones.

WHEN TO TAKE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS?

Image
When to Take Calcium Supplements: When your calcium intake is insufficient, your body will remove calcium from your bones, making them weak and brittle. This can result in osteoporosis. Since women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, many doctors recommend that they take calcium supplements, especially after reaching menopause. Because of this, older women are much more likely to take calcium supplements. MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT When to Take Calcium Supplements: If you don’t get the recommended amount through your diet, supplements can help fill the gap. You might also consider calcium supplements if you: Follow a vegan diet, have a high-protein or high-sodium diet, which may cause your body to excrete more calcium. Have a health condition that limits your body’s ability to absorb calcium, such as Crohn’s disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Calcium supplements may benefit those who are not getting enough calcium...

IMPORTANCE OF BONES AND JOINTS

As bone mass decreases, men and women are at risk for developing osteoporosis, a disease that cause...

EFFECTS OF CALCIUM IN HEALTH

Image
Effects of calcium in health: Bones need plenty of calcium and vitamin D throughout childhood and adolescence to reach their peak strength and calcium content by about age 30. After that, bones slowly lose calcium, but people can help reduce these losses by getting recommended amounts of calcium throughout adulthood and by having a healthy, active lifestyle that includes weight-bearing physical activity such as walking and running.  MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Effects of calcium in health: Some studies show that getting enough calcium might decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke. Other studies find that high amounts of calcium, particularly from supplements, might increase the risk of heart disease. But when all the studies are considered together, scientists have concluded that if intakes are not above the upper limit, calcium from food or supplements will not increase or decrease the risk of having a heart...

KNOW MORE ABOUT CALCIUM

Image
Know more about calcium: Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, is found in some foods, added to others, available as a dietary supplement, and present in some medicines such as antacids. Calcium is required for vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion, though less than 1% of total body calcium is needed to support these critical metabolic functions.  MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Know more about calcium: The remaining 99% of the body’s calcium supply is stored in the bones and teeth where it supports their structure and function. Bone itself undergoes continuous remodeling, with constant resorption and deposition of calcium into new bone. The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes with age. Bone formation exceeds resorption in periods of growth in children and adolescents, whereas in early and middle adulthood both...

WHAT IS CALCIUM DEFICIENCY?

Image
What is calcium deficiency: Inadequate intakes of dietary calcium from food and supplements produce no obvious symptoms in the short term. Circulating blood levels of calcium are tightly regulated. Hypocalcemia results primarily from medical problems or treatments, including renal failure, surgical removal of the stomach, and use of certain medications such as diuretics. Symptoms of hypocalcemia include numbness and tingling in the fingers, muscle cramps, convulsions, lethargy, poor appetite, and abnormal heart rhythms. If left untreated, calcium deficiency leads to death. MORIKAMI LABORATORIES CALCIUM L-THREONATE: BEST CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT What is calcium deficiency: Over the long term, inadequate calcium intake causes osteopenia which if untreated can lead to osteoporosis. The risk of bone fractures also increases, especially in older individuals. Calcium deficiency can also cause rickets, though it is more commonly associated with vitamin D deficiency....
