Calcium
Our Naturopaths Say
Calcium is an essential nutrient for the human body, as it is necessary for the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It is also involved in muscle contractions, nerve function, and the secretion of hormones and enzymes. In addition, calcium plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure and the functioning of the heart. Consuming a diet that includes foods that are rich in calcium, such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and fish, can help ensure that the body has an adequate supply of this important mineral. Our team of accredited naturopaths can help you determine if supplementing with calcium is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is calcium?
Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, is found in some foods, added to others, present in some medicines (such as antacids), and available as a dietary supplement. Calcium makes up much of the structure of bones and teeth and allows normal bodily movement by keeping tissue rigid, strong, and flexible.
What happens when you're low on calcium?
The calcium level in blood can be moderately low without causing any symptoms. If levels of calcium are low for long periods, people may develop dry scaly skin, brittle nails, and coarse hair. Muscle cramps involving the back and legs are common.
What causes low calcium levels in elderly?
As ageing progresses, due to decreased dietary uptake and reduced absorption, calcium homeostasis is altered. Vitamin D deficiency, renal failure, and parathyroid hormone deficiency or resistances are the common culprits of hypocalcemia in elderly.
More from our Naturopaths
Do I still need calcium if I drink milk or eat dairy?
Not always — but it depends on your intake. Many people still fall short of the recommended daily calcium intake even with dairy, especially if portions are small or inconsistent. Supplements can help bridge that gap when needed.
What happens if I don’t get enough calcium long-term?
Over time, low calcium intake may affect bone strength and density. The body will prioritise keeping blood calcium stable, sometimes drawing it from bones if dietary intake is too low over extended periods.
Can calcium be taken with magnesium or vitamin D?
Yes — in fact, calcium is often paired with vitamin D for absorption support, and magnesium may also complement calcium in overall mineral balance. Many people take them together as part of a bone health routine.
