  2. Bone density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_density

    To prevent low bone density it is recommended to have sufficient calcium and vitamin D. [17] [18] Sufficient calcium is defined as 1,000 mg per day, increasing to 1,200 mg for women above 50 and men above 70. [18] Sufficient vitamin D is defined as 600 IUs per day for adults 19 to 70, increasing to 800 IUs per day for those over 71. [18]

  3. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

    Calcium regulation in the human body. [6]The plasma ionized calcium concentration is regulated within narrow limits (1.3–1.5 mmol/L). This is achieved by both the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, and the parathyroid glands constantly sensing (i.e. measuring) the concentration of calcium ions in the blood flowing through them.

    Some older women who take calcium supplements commonly recommended to ward off age-related bone damage may face an increased risk of developing dementia.

    Women experience greater bone loss, around 2-3% per year, particularly after menopause due to estrogen deficiency. This deficiency reduces intestinal calcium absorption, decreases calcium reabsorption by the kidneys, and increases parathyroid hormone secretion, all contributing to bone resorption.

  6. Calcium supplement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_supplement

    [34] [35] Calcium carbonate as a calcium supplement source has several benefits compared to other forms like calcium citrate, lactate, or gluconate, because of highest content of elemental calcium by weight (40%), providing more calcium per dose compared to other forms. It is the least expensive form of calcium, making it a cost-effective ...

  7. Disorders of calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_calcium...

    Disorders of calcium metabolism occur when the body has too little or too much calcium. The serum level of calcium is closely regulated within a fairly limited range in the human body. In a healthy physiology, extracellular calcium levels are maintained within a tight range through the actions of parathyroid hormone , vitamin D and the calcium ...

    For example, for calcium the U.S. Food and Drug Administration set the recommended intake for adults over 70 years at 1,200 mg/day and the UL at 2,000 mg/day. [18] The European Union also sets recommended amounts and upper limits, which are not always in accord with the U.S. [ 19 ] Likewise, Japan, which sets the UL for iodine at 3000 μg ...

  9. Idiopathic hypercalcinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_hypercalcinuria

    Hodkinson and Pyrah proposed hypercalciuria as a calcium excretion of over 7.5 mmol in men and 6.25 mmol in women, every 24 hours, [4] but some argue that these values are too restrictive and ignore age, weight considerations, and renal function. Calcium excretion is negatively associated with age until the ages of 30–60, where calcium ...
