vitamin D sunlight\nSOme forms of calcium are easier to absorb than others.  A good source is to cook a turky carcass in a pot, add five tablespoons vinegar and it pulls the calcium out of the bones.\nMany times the pills are either hard to digest or are not as good as getting it from several sources, like green leafies, and so on.  Lots of high fat foods that contain calcium are not wise.  TOo much info?

My guess is your body doesn't metabolize calcium. Ask your doctor if he thinks drinking LOTS of water will help.

It is true that they are all just chemicals, but it is the form in which you take vitamins.  Some absorb much faster than others.   This is especially true with some minerals like iron.  You absorb much more iron from meat sources than you do from iron-rich vegetables and cereals.  Just because your cerial says it has 100% RDA of iron does not mean your body will absorb it all.  Same with calcium.  Dairy products are superior in many ways to tablets and other sources.\n\n\nVitamins from food sources are typically the best way to go.  Its cheaper and tastes better too!

I just read an article in "Body + Soul" magazine about magnesium.  It helps increase calcium absorption, strengthens bones and teeth, lowers risk of heart disease, improves mood, and helps prevent migraines.  You can find magnesium in raw almonds, lean roasted beef, black beans, brown rice, raw cashews, cheddar cheese, roasted chicken, steamed crab, dates, dried figs, sardines, steamed shrimp, and roasted turkey.\n\nAccording to this article, magnesium does help with mood and relaxation by helping the body make serotonin, which helps to calm your body.

In my opinion calcium is inorganic. It is a mineral rather than an organism.

makes your bones stronger, allows for intracellular signalling, and allows for action potential in the nervous system.  In conclusion: you can't do jack w/o calcium.\n\nI am right, those who don't agree with the above statement are wrong.

Parathyroid hormone will act to increase your blood calcium levels. It will first go to the intestines to see if it can get calcium, next it will affect the kidneys to reclaim calcium and prevent it from being lost in urine, and finally it will take if from your bones. Taking it from bones is the last thing you want to happen as this will lead to osteoporosis.

the benefits of calcium to the human body are practically immeasurable, and new research shows it can even help prevent tumors and other health problems.\n\nthe major role of calcium is to help build strong bones, calcium can aid the human body in many different functions, reducing a person's risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and some cancers. \n\nCalcium, found most abundantly in milk and milk products, also helps regulate muscle contraction, clotting of blood, transmission of nerve impulses, secretion of hormones and enzyme activation.

Calcium is essential in muscle contraction, oocyte activation, building strong bones and teeth, blood clotting, nerve impulse transmission, regulating heartbeat, and fluid balance within cells. In the U.S., between about 50% and 75% of adults do not get sufficient calcium in their diet. Adults need between 1,000 and 1,300 mg of calcium in their daily diet.

albumin binds calcium to a large extent, patients with abnomal albumin content will have abnormal calcium levels for this reason.\n\nThe only (never say only in medicine) active calcium in your body is NOT protein bound.  So what really matters is the ionized version.  Simple formulas based on the ratios of albumin/calcium binding help to estimate the physiologic calcium level.\n\nIonized calcium can be tested for directly, and corrected levels are simply a guess.
