Calcium Deficiency can Increase the Risk of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is more common in older adults, especially women, after menopause when the body's production of estrogen decreases, which can lead to a decrease in bone density. Adequate calcium intake, along with regular physical activity and weight-bearing exercises, can help to prevent osteoporosis. Adequate calcium intake is particularly important during childhood and adolescence when bones are growing and developing. During this time, the body is building up its bone mass, and a lack of calcium can lead to a lower peak bone mass, which can increase the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
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.
Calcium and Iron Can Interact and Negatively Affect the Absorption of Each Other
This is because calcium and iron (and Zinc) compete for the same absorption sites in the gut, and when there is a high level of calcium present, it can reduce the amount of iron that is absorbed. To minimize the interaction between calcium and iron, it is recommended to take them at different times of the day, with a gap of 2-3 hours in between. It's also recommended to take iron supplements on an empty stomach, as food can also interfere with iron absorption
