Insufficient Intake:
Diet:
The lack of dietary calcium is the primary cause of calcium deficiencies, necessitating dietary adjustments. Chronic kidney disease and menopause also play a role. Sugary and refined foods, phosphoric acid in carbonated drinks, and high coffee intake worsens deficiency by affecting calcium absorption and bone formation. Adjusting diet and lifestyle habits is crucial to prevent calcium deficiency.
Symptoms of calcium deficiency:
Symptoms consist of muscle spasms, irregular heart rhythms, brittle hair and nails, and bones prone to fractures.
Calcium absorption - Magnesium:
Magnesium plays a crucial role in maxsimising calcium absorption and deposition. Sufficient magnesium intake is associated with increased bone density and a reduced risk of osteoporosis in women, particularly post-menopause.
Magnesium is essential for over 300 bodily functions, and its deficiency can result in muscle cramps, hypertension and heightened nervous system irritability.
Supplement with Calci-Boost:
CALCI-BOOST capsules are for the well-being of the bone structure. Although calcium is the main component in the bone it requires other minerals to ensure optimal bone density.
