Rational calcium supplement "medicine" Know

Spring is a good time to supplement calcium, but how to scientifically and rationally eat calcium tablets?

Competition between two types of calcium tablets

Calcium tablets can be divided into inorganic calcium and organic calcium.

Inorganic calcium is mainly calcium carbonate, which is relatively cheap, high in calcium content, but tastes bad. It needs gastric acid to dissolve, and calcium ions can be absorbed.

Therefore, people with less gastric acid, such as atrophic gastritis patients or elderly indigestion, should not choose.

Organic calcium includes calcium citrate, calcium citrate, calcium acetate, calcium gluconate, etc.

These calcium agents have good solubility and can be made into granules, oral solutions and other dosage forms. They have high absorption rate and good taste, but the price is high and the calcium content is low.

Take calcium tablets at a proper time

In order to reduce the stimulation of calcium on the gastrointestinal tract, it is generally recommended to take calcium after meals. Some people believe that calcium can be taken with food to increase calcium absorption, so it is also possible to take calcium at meals.

The best time to supplement calcium is before bed. The blood calcium level is generally high in the day and low at night, especially in the middle of the night and early morning. Low blood calcium level will accelerate the decomposition of bone calcium, leading to decalcification and hypocalcemia.

In severe cases, the body twitches.

Supplying calcium before sleep can provide calcium source for calcium regulation at night and block the use of bone calcium in the body.

Calcium has a calming effect and helps sleep.

Tips for calcium supplementation should be kept in mind

First, do not drink alcohol and caffeine in large quantities, and do not smoke in large quantities. This will inhibit calcium absorption, especially in patients with osteoporosis.

It is recommended not to drink too much alcohol and coffee.

Second, do not take calcium supplements immediately after taking a large amount of cellulose.

Eating a lot of foods rich in cellulose (spinach, spinach, amaranth, bamboo shoots) will inhibit calcium absorption.

Therefore, if the diet contains a lot of cellulose, it is recommended to take it after two hours.

Third, do not take too much salt because of the intake. The intake of salt is increasing, and the absorption of calcium is getting worse.

Fourth, phytic acid and oxalic acid food should not be eaten with calcium.

Phytic acid and oxalic acid in food will combine with calcium to form sediment, affecting calcium absorption, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, green beans, onions, etc., so try not to eat calcium supplements.

Fifth, do not add too much calcium, which is easy to form stones.

Sixth, we should bask in the sun in our daily life.

Because the ultraviolet ray of the sun promotes the synthesis of active vitamin D, which can promote the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, promote the formation of bones, and prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Generally, you should take calcium tablets for about two to three months, and then check whether your body still lacks calcium, and then consider whether to continue taking calcium tablets.
