Calcium

The simple things are easy to overlook, no?

Things like calcium deficiency
This deficiency is actually very common, mostly due to an unbalanced diet lacking in whole foods, but this can also be caused by many medications, including acid blockers.


What Calcium Does:
Supports bones (including teeth), the heart, nerves, and muscles, However, it needs many other nutrients like vitamin D to help it function at its best (thus why eating whole foods is always the foundation to health).


Signs and Symptoms of Deficiency:

• acute anxiety

• PMS

• muscle cramps

• irritability

• osteoporosis

• osteomalacia

• osteooarthritis

• increased colon cancer risk

Where it's found:

• broccoli

• cabbage

• dark leafy greens

• dairy

• wheat

• soy

• molasses

• Brewer's yeast

• Brazil nuts

• hazelnuts

• oysters

• sardines

• salmon

The Goldilocks Amount:
For most adult women, the recommended daily amount is 1,200 mg/day in total (including dietary sources and supplementation).


New evidence suggests that much larger doses than this can actually inhibit bone health, so like all things, more is not necessarily better.
