There are many kinds of calcium supplements available on the market. Some make use of calcium carbonate, while there are some that use calcium citrate in making calcium-rich tablets and syrups. Vitamin D is often added to calcium supplements because it helps in the absorption of calcium by bones and teeth. Due to this reason calcium and vitamin D are closely related to each other.
Calcium and vitamin D are also present in many liquid calcium supplements as well. These two nutrients work together to help in the prevention of many diseases. Most of the degenerative diseases are caused due to calcium deficiency but of course calcium deficiency is ultimately linked with deficiency of vitamin D. It's very important to keep optimum levels of calcium in the blood and for that matter a healthy and balanced diet is required.
Calcium With D
Vitamin D is basically fat-soluble and helps in the digestion of food. It is required for proper calcium absorption. Green vegetables rich in calcium are recommended for people of all ages. However, if you think your everyday diet is not enough to fulfill your daily calcium and vitamin D needs; you should consume high-quality nutritional supplements in the form of tablets on a regular basis.
A healthy man in his 20's or 30's needs up to 1200 mg of calcium daily. Children and teenagers should consume 1300 - 1500 mg of calcium everyday. Milk fortified with vitamin D should be given to children. In addition to this, liquid calcium and vitamin D supplements products can also be used.
Calcium deficiency causes osteoporosis, especially in women when they reach their 50's and 60's. This is because most of the calcium found in their body is used up during pregnancy. Calcium, vitamin D and many other important minerals and vitamins are required for proper development of the baby and for the prevention of birth defects. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before taking any calcium-rich tablets or calcium fortified food.
The best supplements out there have been found to be the one made with coral calcium. This kind of calcium is obtained from fossilized coral reefs above sea level, and therefore it's totally refined. In addition to calcium carbonate coral calcium also contains traces of other minerals like magnesium and potassium. More specifically the Okinawan coral calcium has been found to be very beneficial for long-term bone health and for the prevention of many degenerative diseases.
