Calcium supplementation in old age does not absorb? It's not correct

Calcium replenishes more kidney stones? antithesis

In clinical work, it has been found that many people have misunderstandings on the issue of calcium supplementation, and the following two are typical.

Myth 1: Calcium supplementation has short-term effects

Short-term calcium supplementation does not change bone mass, and can only be temporarily adjusted for blood calcium. Calcium supplementation has a course of treatment, generally calculated on an annual basis, strictly in accordance with the standard calcium supplementation, one year after the observation of bone density improvement, adhere to several years can achieve a better consolidation effect.

Myth 2: Supplementing more calcium will get kidney stones

Formal literature reports that the probability of kidney stones in people with calcium deficiency is 6 times that of normal people. People intake a large amount of oxalic acid from food every day, if a part of oxalic acid and sufficient calcium in the intestine combined, excreted through the intestine, the concentration of oxalic acid in the blood decreases, it is not easy to produce high concentrations of oxalic acid in the kidneys, otherwise it will be easy to produce calcium oxalate crystals precipitated to form kidney stones.

Calcium supplementation for the elderly is a long-term "systems engineering"

For older people, what are the correct ways to supplement calcium? It is recommended that everyone here: multi-angle calcium supplementation.

Food supplements

Dairy products, soy products, shrimp skin, sesame, fresh vegetables, etc., the absorption of various nutrients can effectively improve the utilization of calcium.

Medication for calcium supplementation

Inorganic calcium (calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, etc.), organic calcium, adequate calcium intake is especially important for the elderly, and outdoor sunlight exposure is required for half an hour a day to produce enough active vitamin D3 to promote calcium absorption.

Smart use of mechanics to supplement calcium

Mechanical action on the absorption of calcium by bones is huge, such as gravity. Walking, muscle strength training, etc. are all beneficial for calcium absorption. When the elderly who do not like to exercise are on bed rest or sitting on the sofa for a long time, the muscles are in a relaxed state, and calcium intake is difficult to carry out. Astronauts in space lack the stimulation of gravity to bones, and osteoporosis occurs in very good bodies. Therefore, the elderly must increase outdoor activities and walking when physical strength allows, so that the bones can resist gravity and promote the positive intake of calcium. If you have osteoarthritis and cannot walk too much, or are paralyzed in bed, you can use puller training, massage, and shock wave to physically stimulate the muscles, and appropriate mechanical stimulation can promote bone calcium absorption. At the same time, it can carry out non-weight-bearing exercise of the limbs, limb confrontation training, and delay the loss of calcium.

Calcium should be supplemented in sufficient amounts

The human body needs 1000mg of calcium per day in vitro, and if you do not pay attention to calcium supplementation after the age of 30, calcium needs to be removed from the inventory of bones to accelerate calcium loss. Chinese diet is mainly rice, noodles, vegetables, low calcium content, it is recommended to two bags of fresh milk (containing about 400mg of calcium) per day to meet the minimum daily requirement. The daily requirement of the elderly is greater than 1000mg, and the calcium content in food is insufficient, so it needs to be supplemented from drugs.

Increases calcium absorption

After adequate calcium supplementation, if there is gastritis enteritis, medication is needed to improve gastroenteritis and promote calcium absorption. The intake of moderate amounts of active vitamin D3 also greatly improves the efficiency of calcium intake.
