什么是钙,为什么需要更多?

钙是一种你的身体每天需要的重要的矿物质。钙是体内重要的角色数量。一个人缺乏可引起许多不良的健康问题。首先,钙是骨骼和牙齿的主要成分。发现超过人体这些结构的98%。在身体的其他部位,钙支持心脏功能,血液循环,神经和肌肉。

钙摄入不足可导致身体“抢”从骨头上弥补不足的钙。当这种情况发生时,会导致低骨量峰值;这意味着将在成熟骨呈现低量。低骨量峰值可以是一个促进因素发展的一个潜在的疾病弱,薄,脆弱的骨头称为骨质疏松症。超过25000000人在美国有这种多因素疾病,它也受种族,性别,身高,遗传,饮食,运动和生活方式。过量饮酒和吸烟也被认为是骨质疏松症的危险因素。建筑通过摄入充足的钙维持骨骼健康的一生是与减少骨质疏松的风险通过优化骨。钙摄入量超过每日推荐摄入量的200%2000毫克)并没有已知的好处。

在钙的摄入量是什么年龄?

很简单,在所有年龄段。钙是婴儿发育的重要发展,童年时的骨头生长,育龄期和成年期保持骨骼健康和强壮。

我不能从我的饮食中获得足够的钙?

婴儿配方奶粉和婴儿食品含有丰富的钙,是母乳,所以婴幼儿可能得到足够的。一旦那些来源,补钙变得更加困难。它一般是由研究所的国家科学院的医学,从四岁到成人的认可,最佳钙参考摄入量对健康的范围从8001200毫克每天。要从饮食中摄取两要求一个人每天三次奶制品,再加上蛋白质,多吃蔬菜,谷物和水果。对许多人来说这是困难的。

很多人都对奶制品敏感,酪蛋白,乳糖或其他乳蛋白。这些人发现要获得足够的钙很有挑战性。

饮食中什么会影响钙的吸收?

富含纤维的食物和植物性食物中含有的植酸会影响钙的吸收,如咖啡因。多余的脂肪,盐和软饮料也有负面影响。

这是更好地传播钙摄入了不是一次一天。研究表明,当太多的钙是人体一次,吸收减少。

维生素D增加钙的吸收,所以要确保你的饮食含有足够量的重要营养素。维生素D在体内储存,所以不需要消耗的维生素D以钙相同的;然而,许多钙补充剂中含有少量的维生素D作为预防措施。由于牛奶和谷类食品通常都添加了维生素D和阳光也提供,老年人没有阳光照射和不良饮食是最危险的。

Description

Kirkman® offers calcium capsules with and without vitamin D at the request of physicians.  Our Calcium without Vitamin D capsule is hypoallergenic and does not contain additives.  This product is part of our Bio-Max series that uses forms of nutrients that have clinically proven to be among the best absorbed and most highly bio-available.  For individuals who receive vitamin D in other supplements or from sun exposure, a calcium supplement without vitamin D may be preferable.

Our calcium capsules utilize calcium bis-glycinate amino acid chelate, which has been demonstrated to have superior absorption qualities.  The following chart published by Albion® Labs, Inc., the manufacturer of this calcium, shows this by comparing the absorption percentages of different calcium sources:

Kirkman’s customers asked for this product and we responded.  Calcium with Vitamin D Chewable Tablets are a convenient and delicious way to receive calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

Our tablets are sweetened with dextrose and contain no flavorings of any kind.  Vitamin D is added to enhance calcium absorption.  One tablet contains 250 mg of elemental calcium from calcium carbonate.

The taste and texture of our chewable calcium tablet appeal to both children and adults.  For those who want to try this product, a trial size is available.  We suggest that for best absorption, the tablets are taken close to mealtime.

This product, like all Kirkman® calcium products, is manufactured from the highest quality calcium compounds that meet or exceed all governmental standards for purity, including heavy metals.

What is calcium and why might I need more?

Calcium is an essential mineral that your body needs every day.  Calcium plays a number of important roles in the body.  A deficiency can cause numerous adverse health issues.  First, calcium is the major constituent of bones and teeth.  More than 98% of the body's calcium is found in those structures.  In the rest of the body, calcium supports heart function, circulation, nerve function and muscle tone.

Insufficient calcium intake can cause the body to "rob" calcium from the bones to make up the shortage.  When this happens, low peak bone mass can result; this means that there will be a low amount of bone mass present at maturity.  Low peak bone mass can be a contributing factor to the development of a potentially crippling disease of weak, thin, fragile bones called osteoporosis.  More than 25 million people in the United States have this multifactorial disease, which is also affected by race, sex, heredity, body stature, diet, exercise level and lifestyle.  Excess alcohol consumption and smoking are also considered risk factors in osteoporosis.  Building and maintaining good bone health through adequate calcium intake throughout life is linked to a reduced risk of osteoporosis by optimizing bone mass.  Calcium intake exceeding 200% of the recommended daily intake (2000 mg) has no further known benefit.

At what age is calcium intake important?

Very simply, at all ages.  Calcium is important to infant development, childhood development when bones are growing, during childbearing and during adulthood to keep bones healthy and strong.

Can't I get enough calcium from my diet?

Infant formulas and some baby foods are rich in calcium, as is breast milk, so babies and infants probably get enough.  Once off of those sources, getting enough calcium becomes more difficult.  It is generally recognized by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences that from ages four through adult, optimal calcium Dietary Reference Intakes for good health range from 800 to 1200 mg daily.  To get that from the diet requires that an individual ingest two to three servings of dairy products per day, plus several servings of protein, vegetables, grains and fruits.  This is difficult for many people.

Many individuals are sensitive to dairy products, casein, lactose or other dairy proteins.  These individuals find it very challenging to obtain enough dietary calcium.

What affects calcium absorption from my diet?

Fiber-rich foods and plant foods containing phytic acid can negatively affect the absorption of calcium, as can caffeine.  Excess fat, salt and soft drinks also have a negative effect.

It is better to spread calcium intake out over the day instead of taking it all at once.  Studies show that when too much calcium is in the body at once, absorption is diminished.

Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium, so it is important to make sure your diet contains sufficient amounts of that nutrient.  Vitamin D is stored in the body, so it is not necessary to consume the vitamin D at the same time as the calcium; however, many calcium supplements contain small amounts of vitamin D as a precautionary measure.  Since milk and cereals are usually fortified with vitamin D and sunlight also provides this, older adults without sunlight exposure and with poor diets are most at risk to be deficient in vitamin D.

What kind of calcium supplement should I take?

There are many excellent calcium supplements available on the market.  Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are the most popular sources, with calcium carbonate being by far the most abundant.  Both calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are excellent sources and are well-absorbed.  The New England Journal of Medicine (1987) reported that these forms of calcium had similar absorption profiles to the calcium found in milk, and these results have been confirmed in subsequent studies.

Calcium carbonate is best absorbed when taken with food.  Individuals with the condition achlorhydria (missing stomach acid) seem to absorb calcium citrate better, though the difference is minimized when calcium carbonate is taken with food.

There is one form of calcium that has shown some advantages in absorption properties.  The form is known as calcium bis-glycinate chelate, which is produced by Albion® Laboratories Inc., of Clearfield, Utah.

What other quality issues do I need to be concerned about when choosing calcium supplements?

Poor quality calcium supplements may contain a higher lead content than is desirable.  The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the Food Chemicals Codex are considered standards for quality materials used in supplements.  The lead tolerance in these publications is three parts per million (ppm), an acceptable level to the Food and Drug Administration.  Most reputable companies have adopted these standards.  It can also be pointed out that several high-quality pharmaceutical grades of calcium are also available that have lead levels far below the 3 ppm accepted standard.

Another issue in quality calcium supplements is disintegration and dissolution standards of the dosage form.  A product must dissolve in the body to do any good.  Check with your manufacturer to ensure that its calcium products meet USP standards.

Finally, look carefully at the label of the calcium supplement you are thinking about buying.  The requirements for calcium intake refer to elemental calcium.  Your supplement should be supplying the total amount of the mineral calcium, not an amount of the calcium salt.  For example, a supplement should be supplying 600 mg of elemental calcium, not 600 mg of calcium carbonate.  If a supplement supplied 600 mg of calcium carbonate, it would only be providing 216 mg of elemental calcium.  If in doubt, call the manufacturer.  Calcium is too important to your health to have a deficiency.

Can I take too much calcium?

The National Institute of Health and the Journal of the American Medical Association seem to agree that most people can safely consume up to 2000 mg per day of calcium.
