The Best Calcium for Your Bones
The second best-selling nutritional supplement in America is calcium. What does it really do? And what are the best sources?
Calcium: What it is and what it does:
Calcium is an essential nutrient for all animal and plant life. It begins life as a mineral: calcium carbonate in rocks. Plants extract calcium salts (calcium chloride) and use them for creating energy. As the food chain continues, animals that eat plants then concentrate the calcium into both liquid and solid states. Solid calcium helps create hard, compact tissues like teeth and bones. Liquid calcium resides inside your cells, your nerves and all of your muscles – including your heart! Every time a muscle contracts it uses calcium. There is also calcium in your bloodstream.
All medical organizations recognize the need to get adequate calcium every day. This is usually through:
Dietary sources – Dietary sources range from kale and walnuts to beef and milk.
Supplementation – Supplements use calcium from both living and non-living sources. Living sources include things such as bone meal and microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC), while non-living sources include things such as calcium carbonate.
Calcium and osteoporosis:
The primary use for calcium is treating osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the condition where there’s a high loss of bone density; your bones become so thin that they may break with the simple act of sneezing or stepping off a curb.
Osteoporosis is a very serious disease, with more women dying of osteoporosis-related fractures than from breast cancer! A diet high in calcium can help prevent osteoporosis if the calcium is absorbed and if there are enough other nutrients (such as Vitamin D) to transport this calcium to the bones.
The best sources of calcium:
The debate about the quality of calcium begins with its source: Is calcium from stone, oyster shell or eggshell as good as calcium from fruits and vegetables? Is calcium from milk and beef equivalent to calcium from nuts and fish? The answer is that certain forms of calcium are good for certain applications.
The bottom line:
The evidence is clear: Calcium from fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds is the best when it comes to dietary sources of calcium. And, when it comes to supplements, MCHC is far superior to all other supplements at building strong bones!
