| Calcium supplements are used to prevent and
to treat calcium deficiencies. There are conflicting recommendations about
when to take calcium supplements. However, most experts agree that no more
than 500 mg should be taken at a time because the percent of calcium
absorbed decreases as the amount of calcium in the supplement increases.
It is recommended to spread doses throughout the day, with the last dose
near bedtime. Recommended daily calcium intake varies from 1000 to 1500 mg,
depending upon the stage of life. [more] |
In July 2006, a report citing research from
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington claimed
that women in their 50s gained 5 pounds less in a period of 10 years by
taking more than 500 mg of calcium supplements than those who did not.
However, the doctor in charge of the study, Dr. Alejandro J. Gonzalez also
noted it would be stretching it to suggest calcium supplements as a
weight-limiting aid.

Calcium carbonate is the most common and least expensive calcium
supplement. It can be difficult to digest and causes gas in some people.
Taking magnesium with it can help to prevent constipation. Calcium carbonate
is 40% elemental calcium. 1000 mg will provide 400 mg of calcium. It is
recommended to take this supplement with food to aid in absorption. In some
calcium supplements based on calcium carbonate,
vitamin D
is added to aid in absorption. Vitamin D is needed for the absorption of
calcium from the stomach and for the functioning of calcium in the body. |

Calcium citrate is more easily absorbed (bioavailability
is 2.5 times higher than calcium carbonate), easier to digest and less likely
to cause constipation and gas than calcium carbonate. It also has a lower risk
of contributing to the formation of kidney stones. Calcium citrate is about
21% elemental calcium. 1000 mg will provide 210 mg of calcium. It is more
expensive than calcium carbonate and more of it must be taken to get the same
amount of calcium. |
|
Calcium phosphate costs more than calcium carbonate, but less than calcium
citrate. It is easily absorbed and is less likely to cause constipation and
gas than either. |
|
Calcium lactate and
calcium aspartate are both more difficult to digest and are more expensive
than calcium carbonate. |
