WHAT IS IT?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral and the 5th most abundant element in the human body. Around 99% of the calcium present in the body is deposited in bones and teeth. It is necessary for the development and sustainment of bone structure and rigidity. It is involved in blood coagulation, in nerves and muscles stimulations, in parathyroid hormone function and Vitamin D metabolism. Calcium main activity, together with phosphate, is bone and teeth growth. Another important function is the storage of mineral supply that the body can use. The amount of calcium present in bones varies constantly due to diet and body requirements. Calcium intake appears to be the most relevant nutritional factor for the development of a optimal bone mass. On the other hand , it must be taken into account what is considered the “Calcium Paradox”. Recently in the USA a sensation has been caused by a statement, published by Newsweek, of Walter Willet, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Countries with the highest dietary calcium intake have the highest rate of fractures, not the lowest”, Professor Willet said. The big consumer of milk and cheese, Norway, Sweden and USA, show a fracture rate among their population that is many times higher of that of continental Chine where the diet is without milk. Moreover Italy, Singapore, France and Japan have the same fracture rate, but with no cheese in the asiatic diets. This means that bone health does not completely depend on the amount of calcium in the diet, but it depends also on other factors such as the salt carrier. Up until now we could only discuss about calcium carbonate or phosphate, with their shortcomings, first and foremost their low digestibility. CALCIUM CITRATE is a salt that solves many of the other salts limits, such as digestibility as Calcium Citrate can be taken on an empty stomach (it does not require an highly acidic environment to be absorbed). Moreover, Calcium Citrate can solve the “Calcium Paradox”: the citrate is an alkaline salt and it opposes the acidosis, caused by high intake of milk , cheese, meat and carbohydrates, acidosis that induces the loss of the mineral and alkaline part of the bone mass, ultimately resulting in a higher occurrence of bone fractures.
