Calcium

Osteoporosis is a common problem among middle-aged and elderly people, and adequate calcium intake is key to its prevention. Calcium is a major component in maintaining the structure and strength of bones and teeth, and also plays an important role in muscle contraction and relaxation, such as the normal functioning of the heart muscle. In addition, calcium helps the nervous system function properly and helps blood clot to form blood clots, thus stopping bleeding and preventing excessive bleeding.

Recommendations for calcium intake

Calcium is especially important for adolescents and women. Adolescents aged 9-18 need approximately 1300 mg of calcium daily for growth; adult men aged 51-70 need approximately 1000 mg of calcium daily to prevent osteoporosis. After age 30, the body loses calcium at a rate of 0.3-0.51 TP4T per year. Poor dietary habits and lack of exercise exacerbate calcium loss. Obtaining enough calcium from a daily diet is not easy; early supplementation is crucial to reduce bone loss and prevent osteoporosis.
