Calcium – the mineral of construction
Important mineral – not only for bones and teeth
Calcium is the most important mineral in the human body in relation to bones and teeth. Up to 100% of the calcium content is stored there, where the mineral hardens the skeleton and provides the necessary stability. But calcium, sometimes also written as calcium, has other functions in the organism. How much calcium should be in the daily diet? What are the other functions of the mineral? And what symptoms do deficiency and excess trigger? In this article, we will provide you with the most important information about the mineral calcium.

Calcium as a dietary supplement
What is calcium?
Calcium is a so-called alkaline earth element. The bones and teeth in the body of mammals, and therefore also those of humans, consist almost entirely of this mineral. In terms of quantity, calcium makes up the largest proportion of minerals in the body. The bones and teeth are also the most important storage for calcium. In addition, a constant calcium concentration in the blood is also important, as the mineral is also involved in various metabolic processes, where it helps regulate hormones and supports various functions in the nutrient balance.
What functions does calcium perform in the body?
As the most important mineral in the human body in terms of quantity, calcium is particularly important for ensuring the stability and strength of bones and teeth. In addition, the mineral performs essential tasks for the function of nerve cells by supporting normal signal transmission in muscles and nerves. Calcium also serves to stabilize cell membranes and is involved in blood clotting. Calcium also plays an important role in blood clotting.
Calcium
- is needed to maintain normal bones and teeth.
- contributes to a normal energy metabolism.
- contributes to normal muscle function.
- contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
- contributes to normal signal transmission between nerve cells.
- is required for the normal function of cell division and specialization.
- contributes to normal blood clotting.
How much calcium does a person need?
The optimal normal range for calcium concentration in the blood is between 2.20 mmol/l and 2.65 mmol/l in adults; growing children can have a value of up to 2.70 mmol/l. An increased calcium level is just as dangerous to health as a value that is too low.
The value can be increased, for example, by illnesses or by malfunctions in organs such as the parathyroid gland or adrenal glands. Calcium levels are closely linked to the available vitamin D level. The body needs vitamin D to be able to use calcium from food. A high or low vitamin D level therefore also influences calcium levels. Excess vitamin D can increase calcium levels, while a vitamin D deficiency can also lower calcium levels. Inflammatory bowel diseases can also affect calcium levels and disrupt the absorption of the mineral.
According to the German Nutrition Society (DGE), the recommended intake of calcium is around 1200 mg/day for adolescents and around 1000 mg/day for healthy adults. For children, the values increase in the first year of life, from 1 to 200 mg/day to 300 mg/day for children between 900 and 7 years of age.
You can easily meet your needs with Calcium Marine Vitamin D3 capsules or the Calcium & Magnesium & Zinc Tablets cover.
Specially developed for women by women Knochenwohl Mineral Complex with calcium and vitamins.
If you want to get an extra portion of enzymes, you can enzyme complex with magnesium and calcium access.
Calcium deficiency and excess
In our society, milk and dairy products are the most important sources of calcium from food. People in western industrialized countries meet around 40% of their calcium requirements through the consumption of dairy products. Individual diets should therefore be carefully checked for calcium sources if few or no dairy products are consumed. Vegans and people with lactose intolerance should pay particular attention to the calcium content of their food. If the diet is unbalanced, children in the growth phase, pregnant women, women before and after menopause, and senior citizens are particularly at risk of developing a calcium deficiency. If a deficiency exists, this is medically known as hypocalcemia.
If there is not enough calcium in the diet, the body tries to release its own reserves to balance the calcium levels. The body takes the stored calcium from the bones and teeth. Depending on the level of the deficit, demineralization of the bones can occur. In children, the deficit manifests itself in the form of growth disorders, malformation of the teeth, or it can lead to the development of rickets. In adults with a long-term calcium deficiency, persistent digestive disorders or the development of chronic inflammatory bowel disease can occur. Demineralization can manifest itself as a disease in the form of osteomalacia or osteoporosis.
An increased calcium level, known as hypercalcemia, should always be checked by a doctor. Under normal circumstances, an overdose through diet is hardly possible, which is why the cause of the calcium excess should be determined. For example, an excess of vitamin D can increase calcium levels, or kidney or thyroid diseases can be responsible for the increase in calcium levels. In advanced stages, an increased calcium level leads to calcium deposits in the kidneys or joints. This can lead to the development of kidney stones, kidney calcification or severe kidney dysfunction, even leading to kidney failure.
What are the benefits of liposomal supplements?
Since the body cannot produce the mineral calcium itself, the entire requirement must be supplied through food. The nutrient has to overcome numerous hurdles in order to not only pass through the gastrointestinal tract, but also to be truly absorbed.
The absorption of calcium requires a balanced vitamin D level so that the intestines can absorb the mineral from food. Calcium from milk and dairy products is considered to be easier to absorb than from vegetables. Calcium intake is also improved if several small amounts are included in the diet throughout the day. In nutrition science, this is referred to as bioavailability, which describes the body's ability to absorb a nutrient in different forms.
Bioavailability is increased by the use liposomal vitamin D3 supported because they incorporate the principle of liposomes into the absorption of vitamins. Liposomes are made of the same material as our cells. The body is therefore familiar with the structure of these substances, which ensures good absorption in the intestine. As so-called phospholipids, these substances envelop a nutrient and take it into the organism via the intestinal walls. The absorption of the encapsulated active ingredients thus sustainably increases the bioavailability of minerals such as calcium if you prefer liposomal nutritional supplements to enrich your balanced diet instead of conventional preparations.
Sango Coral – the natural mineral source
The Sango coral is considered a purely natural and pure source of calcium and magnesium. In the optimal ratio of 2 parts calcium and 1 part magnesium, the Sango coral powder dissolves well in the blood and makes its over 70 minerals and trace elements available to the body.
Sango coral has been popular and highly valued in Okinawa, Japan, for hundreds of years. Okinawa is famous for its extraordinary number of people who live to above-average ages.
Of course, we do not exploit living corals to obtain the valuable Sango coral. Under the supervision of the Japanese environmental authority, only fossil, i.e. dead, corals are used for the Sango powder. These have detached themselves from the reef completely naturally. The corals are sucked up from the seabed using special suction devices, carefully processed and finely ground. All of this is done without the addition of chemicals, but purely mechanically.
You can get the Sango coral as a powder. We also offer this powder filled into vegan capsules or pressed into tablets.
You can easily dissolve Sango coral powder in your muesli, yoghurt or water. It hardly tastes of anything.
Of course, all Sango products are tested for radioactive contamination. We sell each batch individually and only uncontaminated Sango.
