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.

I would say protein. Water is a good answer to.

oxidation of the calcium in the shell

Hypercalcemia, or elevated levels of calcium in the blood may indicate a reabsorption problem with the bones. Please be cautious about utilizing this question/answer board for diagnosing/treating this problem. Since you've been having bloodwork done I would expect that your healthcare practitioner is ordering the bloodwork for a reason and they should be answering your question regarding this topic.

Milk and cheese are very good sources of calcium

Actually, Calcium in it's pure form doesn't exist in nature, as it is highly reactive with water.  It is only found in compounds such as chalk (CaCO3), lime (Ca(OH)2) or gypsum (CaSO4), which can erode to very fine particles which then become SUSPENDED in water.

Hi, check this site out.  It has the most detailed nutritional information I have ever seen.  Should be exactly what your looking for.  Hope this helps.

The second one.  The other three contains salts of calcium.

one a day calcium plus \n\nin the brown bottle with diff colored line on the bottle

1,000,000 millimoles= 1 mole \ntherefore u'd need 50/1,000,000 * 147kg of calcium chloride \nie. 0.00735kg and since 1000g=1kg u multiply this by 1000 and that gives u 7.35 grams.\nhope this helps... cheers

It is the other way around. Calcium atoms ARE present in bones.

Calcium\nCalcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.\n\nThe bones incorporate calcium into their structure. Like other tissues in the body, bones are continually being reabsorbed and re-formed. Teeth incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones.\n\nCalcium has other functions in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heartbeat, stimulation of hormone secretion, activation of enzyme reactions, as well as other functions all require small amounts of calcium.\nPhosphorous\nThe main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the synthesis of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It is also crucial for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.\n\nPhosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat, and in nerve conduction.\nNitrogen\n79% of the air around us is nitrogen . Living things need nitrogen to make proteins, but they cannot get it directly from the air because nitrogen gas is too stable to react inside an organism to make new compounds. \n\nSo nitrogen must be changed into a more reactive form to allow plants and animals to use it. Plants can take up and use nitrogen when it is in the form of nitrates or ammonium salts. Changing nitrogen into a more reactive substance is called nitrogen fixation. \n\nNitrogen fixation happens in three different ways:\n\nThe energy in a lightning bolt can split the di-atomic nitrogen molecule in the air allowing each nitrogen atom to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These oxides are washed to the ground by the rain where they form nitrates.\n\n\nThe Haber process is used by industry to produce ammonia from nitrogen. Ammonia is used to make fertiliser for farmers to feed their crops.\n\n\nNitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the soil and in the root nodules of leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a usable form.\n\n\nNitrogen compounds are returned to the soil by excretion and egestion from animals or when plants and animals die and decay. The nitrogen compounds returned in this way are changed back to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria which live in the soil - thus completing the cycle.

Calcium is in the second column of the periodic table, meaning that it has two electrons in its outermost s-shell.\n\nThat means that as an element, it really "wants" to get rid of those two electrons.  So it's going to "try" to be a 2+ ion.\n\nLikewise, Oxygen is in column 6, meaning it has 6 electrons in it's outermost p shell.  Meaning it "wants" to gain 2 electrons to fill up its p-shell.  So it's going to try to be in molecules where it can share two electrons with other atoms.

Ah the great calcium question!!! I will try to give you a little insight to this.  We think we need alot of calcium to create bone and prevent bone loss.  It is true that we need it...but if you think about it, North America is the BIGGEST consumers of dairy and calcium supplements in the world, yet we have the highest rates of osteoporosis....HMMMM I wonder why...well, according to research that I have been reading, the main reason we are so calcium deficient is cuz we are too acidic... Meaning we eat too many "acid forming" foods. And of course the acid "forming" foods are sugar, meats, dairy (ironically enough) chocolate, coffee, artificial flavors and sweeteners, and tap water or water that has no minerals like distilled.  We MUST eat 80% of our diet ALKALINE (all veggies, fruits, and some grains and seeds) and 20% acidic.  We seem to have it the opposite.  your body will do ANYTHING to stay alkaline, thus it will pull calcium from your bones.\n\nTo answer your question, anything in excess is not good.  Too much calcium will cause bone spurs, kidney stones, will aid in hardening the arteries and cause digestive upset.  The recommended daily doseage is about 1000-1200mg of calcium a day.  At least half of that should come from your diet.  A cup of spinach has 280mg of calcium.  2 tablespoons of tahini (ground up sesame seeds) has about the same amount.  Try sardines, molasses, dark leafy greens and sea vegetables like wakame, kelp, or arame.  Soy has alot too.  Taking a few hundred mg's of calcium in supplements is a good idea too, if you do however I recommend a 1:1 ration of equal calcium and magnesium because about 90% of the population is deficient in magnesium.  Also try to get one with vitamin D and Zinc and Boron.  Hope this helps, sorry it was so long, I am trying to better the lives of people with my knowledge ;)\n\nhttp://www.vaxa.com/736.cfm\nhttp://www.naturalhealthschool.com/acid-alkaline.html\nhttp://www.betterbones.com/research/ph_studies.htm\nhttp://www.liferesearchuniversal.com/acid.html\n\nthese are all good sites to check out on the subject\nSmile and love your body!!

You need to have your minerals in balance, so besides calcium, you should be taking a magnesium supplement also.  If you are drinking milk, 2 or 3 8 oz glasses a day are good.  Magnesium is not in a lot of foods (it's high in almonds and buckwheat), so I find it's easier to take a supplement.\n\nYou should be able to find a magnesium/calcium supplement because these two minerals are known to work together.  If you are looking at an age of bone loss, at least 1 gm (or 1,000 mg) of each is a good amount.\n\nI have entered into menopause myself.  Having been a big milk drinker (at least a quart a day) for all of my life, I have pretty strong bones - at least that's what I've been told when I've gone for bone density scans (my readings are off the charts on the good side).\n\nOn calcium and magnesium - if you want to get them from foods, the best source for both is bone broth that you make yourself from chicken, beef or pork bones.  It's the most bioavailable form for all minerals.

Depends on how much calcium you want.  The best source for large amounts of calcium would be a Ca supplement.  Naturally, milk and dairy products are a good source.

Calcium or "Ca" is an element of the periodic table. Calcium is to help make you bones stronger, teeth, Calcium can be found in milk, or other dairy products in the market.
