How to Balance When Calcium Supplements Cause Constipation?

How to Balance When Calcium Supplements Cause Constipation?

What is Calcium? And Can Calcium Supplement Cause Constipation? 


Before diving deep into the world of Calcium, let’s have a look at what is calcium? Calcium is a mineral the human body requires to form and maintain strong bones. One of the most abundant minerals in the body, it is stored in teeth and bones, giving a proper structure and hardness.

What Does Calcium Do?


Calcium is needed by the body is a truism. Doctors prescribe, and patients follow. Calcium is required for bones, as almost 1% of the bone strength is lost or depletes after 35-40 years, and therefore, taking calcium lowers the risk of compelling osteoporosis consumption. 

It is needed for the heart and muscles. If there are very few calcium food sources in your diet, calcium deficiency may stunt growth, and full potential height may become a distant dream. 

Low bone mass on account of lack of calcium may create its own set of issues, and endocrine processes may get adversely affected. Other significant benefits of calcium are that it helps in regulating blood pressure and aids the nervous system.

Relation Between Calcium and Constipation


Does excessive calcium cause constipation? The answer is "yes". Excessive calcium triggers constipation, a gastrointestinal health condition, most definitely foul and undesirable. What might be good for one can’t be good for the other, as each body is constituted differently and therefore behaves in its own, sometimes defined and sometimes undefined pattern with reference to calcium absorption. 

The issue of calcium-engineered constipation appears to be a struggle for supremacy between calcium, water, sodium and the function of the kidneys. The kidneys, as most of us would be aware, among numerous other functions, regulate the flow of water and sodium. 

Salt is needed by the body. Now when calcium enters the body, it goes into conflict with sodium, preventing salt reabsorption. Water goes out of the system. Stools become hard, and constipation takes over.

How to Tackle the 'DOUBLE C EFFECT'?


Take vitamin D for calcium absorption. Magnesium is another alternative, as it is friendly to the intestinal muscles. Dietary habits should gravitate to high fibre and rich calcium food sources such as spinach, greens, yoghurt, broccoli, oranges etc. Carbonated drinks, alcohol, and processed or deep-fried foods, without much fuss, should figure prominently on the negative list. 

A doctor's advice is recommended, as calcium dosages and frequency via tablets need moderation and calibration. Research also suggests that a calcium intake in the synthetic form may follow a pattern pointing to a temporary respite from persistent use. 

As an offered solution to this calcium vs constipation debate, AlchemLife has produced CalQuest, a natural health solution with amazing health benefits of calcium and non-constipating. 

The product comes as a natural bone strength supplement for bone health for post-menopausal women, deriving strength and credence from 73 organic minerals and coral calcium.
