Description
What is Calcium?
Calcium is the most commonly occurring mineral in the human body.
Its importance for the structure and firmness of bones and teeth is widely known – approximately 98% of the body's calcium is located in these structures. But the mineral can do much more: for instance, it plays an important role in many physiological processes.
As one of the most versatile Second Messenger molecules, calcium is a central variable in intracellular signal transmission. Second Messenger molecules are substances that respond to primary signals (e.g. from hormones) with a change in concentration and thus transmit stimuli from the cell surface to the interior of the cell. All cells regulate calcium concentration to respond to internal and external stimuli. Calcium contributes, amongst other things, to normal blood coagulation, muscle function, cell division and specialisation (Q).
Natural Calcium Sources
Calcium is found mainly in dairy products, legumes, green leafy vegetables and nuts. The WHO recommends a daily calcium intake of 1000 mg for adults and 1300 mg for women after the menopause and men aged 65 and over (Q). In many parts of the world, this amount is not achieved through diet (Q).
The Benefits of Calcium
The importance of calcium is also reflected in the numerous approved health claims.
