What is Calcium?

Calcium is a mineral that is used throughout the body and is the element that gives bone its structure and strength. In addition to bone-building, Calcium is the primary element responsible for sending signals through nerves. It is also vital to muscle contraction, including the beating of the heart, and blood clotting.

Calcium deficiency is common, but the body uses the bones as calcium storage. So a calcium deficiency typically results in bone loss (osteoporosis), which weakens the bones and increases the risk of fractures. Other conditions, such as menopause, cause osteoporosis, so Calcium is often prescribed or advised to slow or reverse osteoporosis.

Low blood calcium is a serious and life-threatening condition, so Calcium is universally prescribed to treat the condition.

What are the side effects of Calcium?

The most common side effects of Calcium are gas, constipation, and bloating. The most serious side effects occur when Calcium is continuously overused, such as constipation, kidney stones, and Calcium forming painful crystals in the joints. Always take Calcium as directed.

Calcium is a normal part of the diet and is found in most foods, so allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, Calcium supplements often have other inactive ingredients, which may cause allergic reactions. These side effects include itching, rash, hives, and trouble breathing. If you have any reaction to Calcium supplements, discontinue using the supplement and talk with your physician about alternatives.
