As long as you take a calcium with vitamin D supplement you will be okay.

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?

Well..some researchers said that there's a connection between the intake of some foods and beverages(especially carbonated and rich in caffein) that impede the proper calcium absorb of the body..They claim for example that coffee literally rob your body of Calcium..I am not convinced that is true..I think that everything taken with moderance could not damage too much our health..

Calcium is more active.  \nThe first answer is totally wrong.  \nCalcium is more active because it is found in period four, whereas magnesium is period three.  Because calcium is in a higher period further down the chart, it also has more electron levels.  That means that the two electrons that calcium loses when it reacts can be more easily lost than magnesium because there are more electrons in calcium shielding the pull of calcium's nucleus on those critical two outer electrons (valence electrons), decreasing the effective nuclear force of calcium's nucleus.

•     Calcium\n•     Phosphorus\n•     Sodium\n•     Chlorine\n•     Potassium\n•     Magnesium\n•     Sulfur\n\nAre all macrominerals, so out of your choices, only Ca and Cl.

what kind of homeostasis?\n\ntemperature, pH, calcium levels...

Yes, but it won't supply enough calcium to be significant.\n\nThe solubility of calcium carbonate (limestone) in fresh water is 6.69 x 10-5 moles CaCO3/Liter. That’s means that only about 7 milligrams dissolve in one liter.  If the water has some dissolved carbon dioxide in it the solubility is slightly higher. You could not drink enough water in a day to supply your basic daily requirement of calcium. \n\nThe daily recommended requirement for calcium is about 1000 milligrams for an adult under 50 years. \nhttp://www.osteoporosis.ca/english/About%20Osteoporosis/Nutrition/Calcium%20Requirements/default.asp?s=1

Milk and cheese are very good sources of calcium

The current way would be ion chromatography.  There are older less reliable methods.  You test for the calcium separate form the anions.  The calcium can also be donw by ICP or AA.

Vitamin D allows Calcium to be absorbed in your system.  Without it, the calcium just passes through.  I would suggest getting some calcium supplements (usually less than $20 for a month supply) which usually contain Vitamin D also.  Exposure to the sun also gives you Vitamin D so be sure to get plenty of sunshine!

Calcium and Phosphorus levels are regulated by calcitonin from the thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid glands.  In a healthy individual, calcium and phosphorus have an inverse relationship, that means that when one goes up, the other goes down.  Serum calcium tends to decrease i people who have osteoporosis or inadequate intake of calcium.  Calcium needs Vitamin D to aid in absorption.  Eat foods high in calcium, or take supplements with both Vit D and Calcium. Calcium supplements should be taken 1-2 hrs after a meal to increase intestinal absorption.\nIs your low calcium-high phosphorus levels caused by an underlying condition, such as renal failure, Crohn's disease, or chronic inflammatory bowel disease?  Is it caused by improper functioning of the thyroid and parathyroid glands? If so, the underlying condition must be treated in order for the mineral balance to be restored, thus allowing more calcium to be absorbed.\nSee your Doctor, to treat the underlying problem, then add calcium and Vit D to your diet.

its ca(no3)2, calcium has a charge of positive 2 and nitrate is only negative 1, so you need 2 of them

New guidelines for adolescents and adults are 1,000-1,300mg per day depending on age and gender about 300mg per day higher than the old values.\nA glass of milk, a tub of yogurt or, two cheese slices provide about 300mg of calcium.

I had a total thyroidectomy and the parathyroids came out too (they were stuck to all the scar tissue on my thyroid from all my RAI treatments)  So..my body is totally dependent on calcium and vitamin D supplements.  I take 50 mcg Calcitriol (vit D) and 2000mg OsCal daily.  My levels are monitored every 3 mos but since having a baby, my body has changed quite a bit.  I've had 3 hypercalcemic crisis' since that time, all landing me in the ER and a nice 2 day hospital visit (10 days after birth of my daughter) with calcium levels of 16 each time (normal being 9) between having a baby, losing a lot of weight quickly (IBS) and being dehyrdated when ill I've had my share!  I'm seeing a really good endocrinologist who is supposedly the calcium expert and has run extensive testing on me.  If you live in the NY metro area, email me at mooseny35@yahoo.com and I will gladly provide you with his info.

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!!

Calcium is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. Calcium is a soft grey alkaline earth metal that is used as a reducing agent in the extraction of thorium, zirconium and uranium. Calcium is also the fifth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. It is essential for living organisms, particularly in cell physiology, and is the most common metal in many animals.\n\nIT MAKES YOUR BONES STRONGER - and prevents osteoporosis
