Blood levels of Calcium are tightly regulated by PTH, Calcitonin and vitamin D and if our blood levels fall, even by a small amount, we extract calcium from the bone.

It is much better to get calcium from foods (which also provide other nutrients) than from calcium supplements.    If you do take calcium supplements, make sure you don’t take more than the amount recommended on the bottle. Too much calcium may cause gastrointestinal upsets, such as bloating and constipation. ]]> 2019-04-01 06:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033361 o_matthews https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033421 ‘soft bones’ - more likely to fracture or break with falls or with too much loading and insufficient rest]]> 2019-04-01 06:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033421 https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033474 1,300 mg/day]]> 2019-04-01 06:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033474 https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033568 700 mg/day]]> 2019-04-01 06:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033568 https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033586 Regulation of heart beat]]> 2019-04-01 06:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033586 https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033590 oranges]]> 2019-04-01 06:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033590 https://padlet.com/clare_dix/calcium/wish/347033606  In the human body, 99% of the calcium can be found in the bones

Transcellular: Calcium transported across membrane of gut epithelial (skin) cell at both ends of the cell (luminal and basal). This requires the use of ATP (energy) to power the pumps. It is carried through the cell by binding proteins.
Vitamin D regulates the gene expression of the transporters to increase absorption. It also increases the expression of the binding proteins.
