ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM? THE SECRET TO BONE HEALTH...
The May, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association published the conclusion of researchers at Yale University and the University of Connecticut that many older Americans have an insufficient intake of calcium. Adequate intake of the mineral has been defined by the Institute of Medicine as 1,000 milligrams per day for adults and 1,200 milligrams per day for those over 50.
Calcium and vitamin D are the cornerstone of osteoporosis prevention, yet they are not the whole story. Other minerals and nutrients that are vital to healthy bones include magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B12, and others, including zinc, manganese, boron, copper, and silicon (Nieves JW 2005; Hirota T et al 2005).
Many studies have shown that calcium can reduce bone loss and suppress bone turnover. Calcium requires the presence of vitamin D for maximum absorption.
Although calcium is readily available in dairy products and other dietary sources, many Americans are calcium deficient. Here are a few possible explanations for calcium deficiencies:

Although calcium is readily available in dairy products and other dietary sources, many Americans are calcium deficient. Here are a few possible explanations for calcium deficiencies:
- Decreased vitamin D availability, possibly due to kidney or liver problems or insufficient exposure to sunshine
- Decreased gastrointestinal tract absorption due to stomach or intestinal problems
- Increased loss of calcium from the kidneys,colon and bowels
- Low dietary calcium intake
- Medications that inhibit calcium absorption
There are many forms of calcium on the market., calcium malate is an excellent source of bio-available calcium (absorbed by the body) and a good way to receive supplemental calcium.
