What is Liquid Calcium?
Calcium:
Making up approximately 2 percent of the body's weight, of which 99
percent is found in the teeth and skeleton, calcium is the mineral found
in greatest abundance in the body. Calcium is important for maintaining
healthy bones, healthy teeth, proper nerve transmission, proper muscle
contraction, regulation of the heartbeat and blood clotting.
Foods that are high in naturally occurring calcium (in descending order)
include cheese, sesame seeds, sardines in oil, condensed milk, soybeans,
nuts, cabbage, yogurt, milk, Brewer's yeast, watercress, figs, cocoa
powder, broccoli, cottage cheese, fresh water and ocean fish.
Foods and substances that cause calcium deficiency include alcohol,
coffee, and tobacco smoking, high salt diet, and high consumption of red
meat.
Calcium supplements, in order to be properly assimilated by the body,
should also contain magnesium, vitamin D and the trace mineral boron. A
highly bio-available form of supplemental calcium is calcium citrate/malate
(CCM).
Other popular forms of calcium include acetate, carbonate, gluconate and
lactate, which are all similar in absorption rates.
Calcium deficiency is most common in people on strict vegetarian, or
vegan diets, however, the typical American does not get enough calcium
from their diet. The typical American diet provides about 450-550
milligrams of calcium daily, well below the recommended daily allowance
(RDA).
Recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium is 800 milligrams per day.
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) was created in 1941, by the Food
and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. The goal of
setting RDA's was to prevent diseases cause by nutrient deficiencies.
RDAs are commonly referred to as the "minimum wages of nutrition".
Optimum Daily Allowance (ODA) for calcium is 1500 milligrams.
Optimum Daily Allowance (ODA) reflects the amounts of nutrients required
by most adults to support and maintain vibrant good health, as shown by
scientific studies.
Magnesium:
Approximately 60% of the magnesium found in the body is stored in the
skeleton, only 1% is found in the blood, and the remainder is stored in
the muscles and soft tissues. Relative to anxiety and insomnia, the most
important function of magnesium is its role in the relaxation of
muscles. Sufficient levels of magnesium are also crucial for the
formation of the bones, fatty acids and proteins. Other functions
include acting as a co-factor for enzymes, synthesis of RNA and DNA and
numerous amino acids, the activation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for
cellular energy production, proper cardiovascular function, and the
formation and utilization of insulin.
Foods that are high in naturally occurring magnesium include (in
descending order) wheat bran, cocoa powder, wheat germ, nuts, soy beans,
Brewer's yeast, white beans, ocean fish, shrimp, mussels, cheese,
condensed milk, and turkey.
Magnesium deficiency is common in people taking oral contraceptives,
natural or prescription diuretics, and over-consuming laxatives.
Magnesium deficiency is a commonly related to cardiovascular conditions,
cirrhosis of the liver (alcoholism), kidney disease, menstrual cramping,
and PMS.
A 1994 survey conducted by the Gallup Organization found that 72% of
adult American's diets lack sufficient magnesium. The survey revealed
that over half of all adults are consuming less than 75% of the RDA and
one-third are eating less than 50% of the RDA for magnesium.
Recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium is 350 milligrams for
men and 280 milligrams for women per day.
Optimum Daily Allowance (ODA) for magnesium is 750 - 1000 milligrams.

Conclusion:
In America today it is very difficult to avoid having some stress and
anxiety in your life, however, the effects of stress and you're
emotional and physical reactions to stress can be modified. This is
accomplished by ensuring your body's sufficiency of calcium and
magnesium, by being consciously aware of and eliminating as many stress
factors in your life as possible, and if necessary, to use "targeted"
herbs and nutrients to safely support your nervous system and calm your
mind. Try to slow down. With a little more preparation for each day and
proper time management, you can avoid the "rush mode" that many people
find themselves in every day. Seek out and enjoy "life's simple
pleasures"; take a walk, enjoy nature, take a nap, etc. Do things that
take your mind off of your worries. "It has been said that our anxiety
does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its
strength." |
