Calcium supplementation comes first with food supplementation. If the food supplement is difficult to achieve, or the calcium deficiency is severe, the drug calcium supplement is needed. The purpose of calcium use is to supplement the insufficient part of the diet with calcium, so it is important to supplement calcium properly.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > how to choose calcium? </h1>
There are many types of calcium on the market, and we should choose calcium agents that are rich in elemental calcium, well absorbed, have a good taste and are inexpensive. #Headline Health ##Health Knowledge##Breeze Plan##超能健康团 #
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > inorganic calcium</h1>
Including calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and so on. The advantage of such calcium agents is the high calcium content, such as calcium oxide content of 72%, calcium hydroxide 54%, calcium carbonate 40%, and low price. The disadvantages are that the solubility is slightly worse, the absorption rate is low, and the gastrointestinal tract is stimulating, and long-term use is easy to cause constipation.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > organic calcium</h1>
Including calcium gluconate, calcium lactate, calcium citrate, calcium citrate and so on. The advantage of such calcium is that it has better solubility and the absorption rate is slightly higher than that of inorganic calcium products. The disadvantage is that the calcium content is slightly lower, such as calcium acetate calcium content of 25.34%, calcium citrate 24.12%, calcium lactate 18.37%, calcium gluconate 9.3%, amino acid chelated calcium 20%, and the price is high.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > molecular type organic calcium</h1>
Also known as the amino acid calcium. Including calcium L-threonate, L-calcium aspartate and the like. The advantage of such calcium is that the absorption rate is significantly higher than that of the first two types of products, and the bioavailability is also high, the adverse reactions are small, and the only disadvantage is the higher price.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > summary</h1>
Molecular organic calcium is preferred
Secondary selection of organic calcium
Inorganic calcium should be selected as little or no as possible
When supplementing calcium for middle-aged and elderly people, they should weigh the pros and cons, and it is best to choose calcium supplement products with smaller particles, swallowed type and containing phosphorus, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, vitamin B2, magnesium, chondroitin, collagen, etc.
Patients with stomach acid deficiency should choose amino acid chelated calcium (note that calcium and gastric drugs are best taken more than 2 hours apart), and calcium carbonate (which belongs to alkaline salts) should not be selected.
Patients with urinary stones should choose calcium citrate.
Patients with diabetes and hypertension are not suitable for products that contain more sodium, sugar and preservatives, such as calcium gluconate.
Those with weaker gastrointestinal function choose amino acid chelated calcium, such as Leli calcium.
Renal insufficiency is best not to use any calcium, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys and aggravate the disease.

1. Reasonable dosage. Ask the doctor to quantify according to the degree of calcium deficiency of your own, do not do it without permission.
2.—Mid-summer is the best time for calcium supplementation. During the day, half an hour after a meal, going to bed late, etc. are good opportunities to eat calcium tablets.
3. A small number of times. Combine the total amount of the day, such as 1,000 mg, into zeros and take it in several divided doses. Because the body has the highest absorption rate when each intake of calcium is less than or equal to 50 mg.
4. Chew and take it, which is conducive to calcium absorption.
5. Drink more water to improve calcium dissolution and promote calcium absorption.
6. Do not take with zinc, iron and other preparations, the two can interfere with each other's absorption, to separate and take half an hour apart.
7. Strengthen the movement, the purpose is to promote the deposition of calcium into the bones. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people ensure 1 to 2 hours of outdoor activities every day, such as walking, tai chi and baduanjin, which are better than mountain climbing and running.
Calcium deficiency is not caused by insufficient calcium intake for one or two days, calcium supplementation is certainly not a day and night effort, the need to fight a protracted war, is the process of our lifelong persistence, but also the process of reducing our aging.
