Calcium makes us alive!

What do you associate calcium with? Personally, I think of bones, teeth, and eggshells… But it’s not that simple.

Yes, indeed, 99% of all calcium reserves are stored in bones, but 1% of this trace element is evenly distributed in every cell of the body, in its blood, muscles, and other soft tissues. And it is this tiny amount that makes us… alive! ???

Imagine that each of your cells is a separate living being with its own personal needs:

1) Food! Calcium is responsible for transporting nutrients into the cell.
2) Cleaning: calcium removes waste and toxins from the cell (yes, detox is also about calcium).
3) Cell growth, its life, and career choice: whether it wants to become a muscle cell, a brain cell, or join the proud ranks of defenders – the immune system cells.
4) Division (reproduction) – that is, the renewal and growth of your entire body.
5) Communication with neighbors! Cells need to communicate with each other, exchange news, report dangers and invasions of parasites or viruses to protect us from major problems. How do cells “talk” to each other? Calcium. That very 1% of calcium is the “hearing” and “voice” of the cell. If all calcium is removed from the cell, it will not be able to hear the alarm signal or send it to its neighbors; in simpler terms, it will remain deaf and mute. No hormone, neurotransmitter, or cytokine will exit or enter the cell without the help of calcium ions.

It is clear to us – calcium is super important

That is why the body “monitors” its concentration (1%) and strives to keep this value constant at all times. With a full and varied diet, there is no need to worry too much about the amount of calcium in our body, but what happens if we find ourselves in unfavorable conditions? ? The very main 1% will start to decrease. When the body feels this, the “red button” will be pressed, an emergency will be declared, and urgently the body will order the bones (where 99% is stored) to release their calcium and send it into the blood to restore the lost balance. In short, the body will start to rob itself and take away the strength from its own bones to preserve the life of the organism as a whole. Over time, if nothing is done and calcium continues to be insufficient for any reason, the bones will become so fragile that osteoporosis and fractures may begin. Before this, the following symptoms may develop for a long time: cramps, weakness, numbness, abnormal heartbeat (let’s remember that calcium ions are involved in muscle contraction, and the heart is also a muscle), loss of appetite.

The necessary daily norm of calcium for a healthy adult is 1000 mg

In conclusion: to avoid putting your unique and invaluable body into such a nightmare, it is necessary to obtain 1000 mg of calcium daily by any means. And women in menopause need even more, because estrogen, which always helped with calcium absorption in bones and increased their strength, is already lacking.???

For all those who dislike dairy products but care about their health and longevity, we have added to our site the dietary supplement with coral calcium “SATO Yakuhin Kogyo Ca+Mg”. The recommended daily dose of the product is 22 tablets. Why so many? This is common in Japanese dietary supplements. Let’s quickly figure out why 22 tablets and not one or two, shall we? This trick is for better calcium absorption! If they made one tablet a day but with a large dose, about 80% would exit the body naturally, and only a little calcium would be absorbed…. but here it’s done cleverly: the daily dose is divided into tiny amounts, and the smaller the dose at one time, the better it is absorbed by the body! The trick is very simple – it’s like pouring a whole bottle of water into a flower pot at once, and almost all of it would immediately flow out through the hole in the pot, or pouring little by little, so that each drop is absorbed and moistens the soil.

In addition to the main active ingredient, calcium, the manufacturer has added a supporting element in this case, but no less important – magnesium. This mineral helps deliver calcium more effectively to the body and promotes proper metabolism. Important! Magnesium stimulates osteoblasts, which form bones. It aids in calcium absorption, thereby helping in bone formation.

So we chew this calcium throughout the day, taking 2-3 tablets (a total of 22 for the day), especially since it is tasty, yogurt-flavored.
