Benefits of Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Of the
two to three pounds of calcium contained in the average body, 99%
is located in the bones and teeth. An adequate daily intake of calcium
is not only needed to form healthy bones and teeth, but also in
preventing colon and rectal cancers, high blood pressure, and even
preventing premenstrual syndrome. Calcium also plays an important
role in weight loss, muscular contractions, vision, assisting with
regulating heartbeat, transmitting nerve impulses, blood clotting,
and helping to maintain the walls of blood vessels.
Calcium and Weight Loss
A two-year study found young women who had the highest intakes
of calcium from dairy foods lost the most weight and adipose fat
on weight control programs, regardless of exercise level. (Teegarden
D, et al. J Am Coll Nutr; 19: 754-60, 2000). Limited epidemiological
and experimental data support the possibility that dietary calcium
intake plays a role in human body weight regulation. (Parikh SJ;
Yanovski JA.Calcium intake and adiposity. Am J Clin Nutr; 77(2):
281-7, Feb 2003). Data from six observational studies and three
controlled trials in which calcium intake was the independent variable
(and either bone mass or blood pressure the original outcome variable)
were analyzed to evaluate the effect of calcium intake on body weight
and body fat. Analysis revealed a consistent effect of higher calcium
intakes, expressed as lower body fat and/or body weight, and reduced
weight gain at midlife. (Heaney, R.P., Davies, K.M., Barger-Lux,
M.J., "Calcium and Weight: Clinical Studies," Journal
of the American College of Nutrition, 21(2), pages 152S-155S, 2002).
Recommended Dosage
Coral Calcium is best taken two to three times a day, instead of
in one dose, because your body can absorb only 600 milligrams of
elemental calcium at a time. Best time to take coral calcium is
after meals and before bedtime. Do not take coral calcium with iron,
because it interferes with its absorption. Avoid taking coral calcium
supplements with high-fiber meals or bulk laxatives, as they can
cut down on the amount of calcium you absorb. Over 2,000 milligrams
a day of elemental calcium may pose problems for your kidneys.
