The importance of calcium for human health

Calcium is the most important micronutrient for humans, which is necessary for maintaining the health of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular, hematopoietic and endocrine systems of the body, the synthesis and activation of many hormones, the transmission of nerve signals, and the contraction of smooth and skeletal muscles. It is contained in every cell and is involved in the regulation of many biochemical processes.

Among the many functions of calcium in the human body, a number of the most important can be distinguished:

Maintaining bone density. Calcium is the main element of bone tissue. If there is a deficiency in adolescents during the period of active growth, the processes of formation and development of the bone framework may be disrupted, and the condition of tooth enamel may deteriorate. Calcium deficiency in old and senile age may lead to a decrease in density and disruption of bone tissue structure, the development of osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures.

Regulation of nervous activity and neuromuscular transmission. Calcium is necessary to ensure nerve conduction, contraction of muscle fibers, and maintaining the balance of excitation and inhibition processes in the brain.

Support for the health of the cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems. Calcium is important for maintaining the contractility of the myocardium and stable heart function. The intracellular concentration of calcium ions increases during systole and decreases during diastole, thereby ensuring contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle. It is also necessary to maintain normal blood clotting. Calcium activates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and accelerates the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thus promoting platelet aggregation.

Ensuring the synthesis and activation of hormones. Calcium plays an important role in the endocrine system. It regulates the activity of parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland and the level of calcitonin, participates in the production of hormones that ensure carbohydrate metabolism - insulin and glucagon, affects the secretion of parathyroid hormone.

Calcium is quickly excreted from the body, so its level must be constantly replenished. In addition, due to the climate and dietary specifics, calcium deficiency is observed in most residents of Russia. According to epidemiological studies, only 9% of women and 6% of men receive the required age-related norm. In most cases, the daily calcium intake of residents of Russia does not exceed 50% of the recommended norms4.

To replenish the body's need for calcium, a balanced diet is necessary, as well as additional support in the form of taking drugs containing organic salts of the mineral, for example, calcium gluconate.

The drug "Calcium gluconate 500 mg" in tablet form can be recommended for use in adults and children over 14 years of age as a biologically active supplement to ensure adequate levels of the mineral, prevent hypocalcemia, maintain the health of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems of the body.
