Calcium: Absorbability Makes all the Difference So Does Building a Strong (Bone) Foundation By Dr. Linda Mundorff, MPH, MSN, ND, RN, CNC, CTN Bone growth is a gradual process that peaks around age 30. The process of bone loss will take longer if there is a good, strong bone foundation. This is why it is important to build and maintain strong bones while we are young. One of the most important minerals necessary to achieve this goal is calcium. To Get Enough Calcium in Your Bones For some, however, exercise and diet are not sufficient insurance of long-term bone health. Calcium supplementation may be required. Calcium, as well as other minerals, is stored in bone tissue. A low level of circulating blood calcium triggers bone to release the stored calcium, so that calcium can be utilized in critical areas:
Calcium leaching leaves the bone in a precarious position. As long as the body has enough circulating calcium, the bone can have its precious mineral. Calcium Supplements To determine the actual amount of calcium in a product, look on the label for elemental calcium. Different forms of calcium contain different amounts of elemental calcium. The following are some examples of different forms or compounds:
Calcium Carbonate To optimize absorption of calcium carbonate, it must be taken with an acidic beverage like orange juice or with a meal (because the meal will stimulate acid production in the stomach). Potential side effects are bloating, gas, and constipation. Some advise against the use of calcium carbonate because of its ability to lower stomach acid, something that is normally reduced (and needed) during aging. Calcium Citrate Calcium Gluconate Calcium Lactate Forms of Calcium to Avoid
