Calcium May Lower Body Weight and Reduce Obesity
Studies have found that people who consume a diet high in calcium tend to have a lower body weight and body mass index (BMI) compared to those who consume a diet low in calcium. Some research suggests that calcium may help to reduce weight gain and obesity by increasing fat breakdown and reducing the formation of fat cells. Additionally, calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, tend to be more satiating, which may help to reduce overall calorie intake and contribute to weight loss.
Calcium Plays an Important Role in Blood Clotting
When a blood vessel is injured, platelets gather at the site of injury and release chemical signals that activate the clotting cascade. Calcium ions are needed to activate the clotting factors and enzymes that are necessary to produce a clot. It's also important to mention that some medications such as blood thinners, may interact with calcium and affect blood clotting. consult a healthcare professional before taking calcium supplements if you are on a blood thinner.
Magnesium and Calcium Work Together, but may Interfere with Each Other's Absorption when Taken at the Same Time
Magnesium can affect calcium absorption by competing for the same absorption sites in the gut and reducing the amount of calcium that is absorbed. To minimize the interaction between calcium and magnesium, it is recommended to take them in a ratio of 2:1 (calcium:magnesium) as it is the ratio that is found in natural sources such as food.
