ISSU Calcium and Magnesium Citrate

A Spoonful A Day - A Great Way to Bone Health
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is in the bones and teeth. Research suggests that thousands of years ago humans consumed food containing up to 2000 mg of calcium daily, which kept their bones strong and healthy throughout their lives. Today, busy lifestyles often lead people to eat convenience and fast foods that have had much of the nutritional value processed or cooked out of them. Studies show that many of us consume as little as 500-600 mg of calcium daily. That's not enough to build strong bones when we're young and keep them strong throughout life, and may be part of the reason that one in four Canadian women and one in eight Canadian men over the age of 50 develop osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle and break easily. In fact, the first sign of osteoporosis is often a hip or wrist fracture, which can, in middle and older life, lead to permanent disability and often to death from complications. To keep bones strong, especially for women, it's important to get enough calcium throughout adult life. Yet this is difficult to do through diet alone; to consume just 1200 mg of dietary calcium daily, one would have to drink 4 glasses of milk, or eat 10 slices of cheese, two 8-oz tins of salmon with bones, one pound of calcium-enriched tofu, or 18 cups of cooked broccoli! Calcium supplements can help, but not everyone wishes to take tablets or capsules daily. A liquid supplement, alone or blended with a breakfast beverage, is a good alternative.

Calcium citrate
There are many types of calcium on the market, but not all of them are well absorbed by all people. Many calcium supplements contain calcium carbonate, but this form of calcium is not very bioavailable in people with reduced stomach acid. Calcium citrate is much more bioavailablethat is, readily absorbed and used by the body. It is made from calcium carbonate, but it has been processed so that each molecule of calcium is bound to a molecule of citric acid. This enhances the stomach's ability to break down the calcium and transfer it to the blood for distribution to the bones and teeth. This becomes increasingly important as we age. When we're young, our stomachs produce plenty of hydrochloric acid, which helps us to break down food and supplements. But as we get older, our stomachs produce less hydrochloric acid. Although we need plenty of calcium in our early years to ensure that we build the bone strength that will get us through later life, it is also vital that we get adequate calcium through our middle and older years when we become more susceptible to osteoporosis.

Magnesium and Vitamin D
It is important to take calcium supplements with Vitamin D and magnesium, as these three nutrients work together. Without Vitamin D, our bodies can't absorb calcium. Studies have confirmed that supplements that combine calcium and Vitamin D can decrease the risk of losing calcium from our bones as we grow older. Magnesium has two jobs: it converts Vitamin D to its active form, so that Vitamin D can help our bodies absorb calcium; and it ensures that calcium is absorbed by our bones. Studies have shown that good magnesium intake is connected with strong bones and poor magnesium intake is connected with osteoporosis. The magnesium in SISU Calcium and Magnesium Citrate is in the highly bioavailable citrate form. The Vitamin D is present as ergocalciferol, which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Calcium & Osteoporosis
When too little calcium is consumed in food, the level of blood calcium drops. As a result, calcium is leached from the bones, particularly the spine, hips and ribs. Over time, this depletion leaves the bones weak, hollow and brittle, giving rise to the debilitating condition known as osteoporosis. A frightening one in four women and one in 10 men over the age of 50 have the process of osteoporosis taking place within their bones. Once the bones have lost their vital stores of calcium, it is difficult to restore their strength.

Post-menopausal women are at particular risk for osteoporosis. This is because the high estrogen levels present before menopause help keep calcium in the bones. Osteoporosis contributes to major orthopedic problems such as hip fractures in 25 to 30 % of post-menopausal women.

The process of osteoporosis begins without symptoms. Later, persistent pain in the area of the lower spine may occur. Many older women develop dowager's hump, caused by deformity of the vertebrae. Frequently, osteoporosis advances silently until a spontaneous fracture takes place.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium is 800 mg. Adolescents and pregnant/lactating mothers need 1,200 mg a day, and recent research suggests post-menopausal women require 1,500 mg a day.
