About Calcium

The discovery of the relationship between calcium and life activity and diseases is one of the most remarkable achievements in health product research in the last twenty-five years of this century. Human beings cannot exist without calcium. Calcium ions play an important roll in the whole process of continuing life.

Just look at the relationship between calcium and life. Calcium is the source of human life; it plays an important roll physiologically in every stage of human growth, from conception to old age. Calcium is an essential and indispensable element needed to preserve the health of the body and to promote longevity.

From the angle of ordinary physical capability, a man and a woman can undoubtedly create a new life, but from the angle of nutritional balances within the body, we see that without a proper balance of calcium new life cannot take place.
Basic medical research and clinical experience demonstrates that the calcium ion plays an influential role in this aspects of begetting life. In the process of conception, the male sperm moves toward the female egg with the energy provided by calcium. To scientistÌs surprise, they found that there is a calcium component on the top front part of sperm. It's this calcium component that helps the sperm to pierce and penetrate the inner membrane of the egg cell. When the sperm reaches the ovum cell fertilization is about to take place. Meanwhile, undulating substances composed of calcium surround the ovum cell,
creating what is called calcium vibration. Calcium vibration functions to stimulate the ovum, allowing it to gain the ability to be fertilized, thus creating a new life. We see from this that if calcium were lacking, it would directly affect the fertilizing vitality of the sperm, leading to infertility.

The important effect of calcium on life is so significant that in addition to choosing foods rich in calcium, we need to take an appropriate amount of calcium supplements. Newborn infants usually gain twenty to thirty grams of weight each day. Zero to six years is the most accelerated period of calcium metabolism during the entire life cycle.
The calcium needed at that time is over twice that of the newborn period. Proper amounts of calcium at this time are the chief component of good dental health. Calcium deficiency in young people under eighteen years of age will have a seriously negative affect on their growth, and this period is also the last chance to cure any calcium deficiency in bones which would cause many bone diseases in adulthood.
From eighteen to thirty years of age people's bone quantity keeps increasing and reaches its peak somewhere around thirty-five. From thirty-five to fifty bone quantity is gradually lost. From fifty to seventy people experience their greatest bone loss. This long-term calcium loss in human life causes abnormal calcium distribution in the human
body.

Calcium deficiency in young people will affect both their energy in working and studying, and their psychological health, and cause early aging of the bones. Medium age and older people need to supplement calcium before its deficiency will lead to other diseases. So you can see that we need to be taking calcium supplements over the period of our entire life.

Lets discuss for a moment the influence of calcium specifically on women. From the third month of pregnancy a fetuses need for calcium increases greatly. At that time the mother supplies a large amount of calcium from her body, and besides that the quantity of her own blood circulation also increases, as a result of which the calcium content of her blood decreases, and displays a low blood calcium content. Low blood calcium content is likely to cause the mother to have hypertension, birthing difficulty, pelvic deformity, and loosening of teeth. It can cause the baby to be malformed. So pregnant women
need to be nourished with more calcium especially from the middle stage of their pregnancy.

During the nursing period women's need for calcium will increase because the mother gives up a lot of calcium to her baby through her milk. During this time, a large amount of calcium stored in the mother's body is consumed. If not nourished by additional calcium, in time the mother will suffer from aging, low immunity, and endocrine imbalances, and her body's health will be endangered.

Menopausal women experience a decreased functioning of the ovaries, and a decrease in estrogen. Ovaries participate in the
metabolism of the important organs in the human body. They have an especially close connection with bone metabolism, which will affect women's physiological and nervous system. With the decrease of ovary function, the calcium in women's bones is gradually lost and excreted through the urine. Thus the calcium content of women's bones will obviously be less. The low calcium absorbing ability of aged women's intestines causes their bodies to be seriously calcium deficient. Therefore we say that women especially need calcium supplements throughout their entire lives.

The stimulation of skeletal muscle is caused by the calcium ion,the density of which causes the contraction and expansion of the skeletal muscle. Like an army commander, calcium directs all the movements of the human body.

During the contraction of a muscle, when the nerve fiber is activated, calcium ions flow into the cells. The density of calcium is the basic standard controlling the contraction of the muscles.Calcium stored in the muscle is mainly in the myoplasm net of the skeletal muscle, and the myoplasm net is the most important transportation system for the transmission of the calcium ion. When muscle needs to contract, the skeletal muscle is exited, calcium flows from the myoplasm net and into the cells. Calcium ions in the cells flow out to help the muscle to expand. The whole process is very short.

If the balance in the muscle is destroyed for any reason, the smooth muscle and the heart muscle will be abnormal, which
causes people to lose the ability to control their bodies.

Calcium in the form of calcium salt gives hardness to the bones, which enables the skeleton to carry the whole body. When we
observe calcium deficiency in your bones, we will find that the metabolism of the bone cells is abnormal. This is called
osteoporosis, which causes the following symptoms. Bone pain, susceptibility to fractures, and bone abnormalities. The most
serious is that people break their bones frequently, even during normal activities. During the healing period, people need even more calcium to accelerate the bone connection. Clinical experience shows that calcium deficiency causes the fractures.

Poor nutrient absorption and poor sunlight absorption can prevent calcium salt from penetrating to the appropriate site, and that causes rickets. The main symptoms of rickets are soft cranial bones, abnormal ribs, chicken breasts, and bowed or splayed legs.

A long period of calcium deficiency can bring on osteoporosis, which is a common and frequently occurring disease of aged
people, and whose prevalent symptoms are pain in the waist and while bending, and frequent, constrictive fractures of the breast and lumbar bones. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in a normal personÌs body exists in the bones, only one percent being in the parenchyma and the blood. But in aged people who lack calcium, the amount of calcium in the bone is only sixty percent. The result of osteoporosis is degenerative transformation, so older people should enhance their nutrition and exercises, while at the same time they supplement their calcium intake, which can help them, regain their health.

Everything points to the fact that diseases of the bones need supplements of calcium. Tianshi High Absorption Calcium Powder
has special properties for improving bone density.

Now let's take a look at the diseases of the immune system caused by calcium deficiency. When a foreign germ, virus, toxin, or other disease attacks the body, the immune system acts as a guard to do battle with the invader, and reject foreign matter. But it is the calcium ions, which give the first alarm about the invasion, and give orders to the immune cells to act, to seize the enemy by taking different shapes to capture and destroy them. Therefore, we can see the importance of calcium in the functioning of the immune system. When people lack calcium, the immune function will be fouled up, and permit divers skin conditions, such as scabby skin, dermatitis, acne, and others, as well as rheumatism. Calcium supplement improves the functioning of the immune system, and has a curative effect on these diseases. In this regard, calcium also protects the skin, and improves its appearance.
