r
Body’s Most Abundant Mineral
r
Calcium is your body’s most abundant mineral, accounting for 2% of your total body weight.
r
It has a role to play in most bodily functions.
r
Calcium contributes to the transmission of nerve impulses; muscle contraction, including the heart muscle; blood clotting; cholesterol reduction; immune system health;strong bones and teeth; and proper sleep.

Calcium Deficiency
r
Yet, up to 80% of all American women are may be deficient.
r
The most common factors that produce calcium deficiency are poor eating habits, stress, and lack of exercise.
r
Birth control pills also draw on your body’s calcium levels. And large intakes of dietary fat; oxalic acid, which is present in chocolate; and phytic acid, which is found in wheat bran, may block your body from absorbing calcium.
r
Too much phosphorus, which can be found in most soft drinks and junk food, can also result in calcium loss from bones.
r
Emotional or physical stress resulting from injury, pregnancy, or a strict diet can also cause a calcium loss.
r
Women More Prone to Deficiency
r
Women are more likely to become calcium deficient than are men.
r
Women lose bone extremely fast over the first few years after menopause. Until menopause, estrogen may help manage the parathyroid gland, which monitors the release of calcium from bones.
r
After menopause, however, this monitoring system may deteriorate and calcium may be lost.
