Calcium is an important nutrient to maintain human health. Do you know the function and effect of calcium tablets?

As we all know, calcium is an essential element for our human body, which determines whether our bones are healthy or not. It can be said that it is a diamond for us to build a human scaffold. When we are young, our bones are hard and strong because we are rich in calcium, but as we get older, the calcium in our bodies will gradually decrease. If we don't take enough calcium, it is easy to have osteoporosis, fractures and other phenomena. Therefore, many middle-aged and elderly people choose to eat calcium tablets in order to supplement calcium. Do you know the function and effect of calcium tablets?

1. Prevention of osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people

The human skeleton will decompose and rebuild constantly in metabolism. With the increase of age, the loss of calcium will be accelerated and the bones will be degraded to varying degrees. If you can't get enough calcium, you are prone to osteoporosis in old age. Taking calcium tablets in advance and supplementing enough calcium can maintain normal bone density and prevent osteoporosis.

2. Neuroregulation can be performed.

Calcium ion can balance the potential difference inside and outside the cell and make the neurotransmitters in nerve conduction release normally. When the calcium concentration is high, the release of neurotransmitters will always be released. When the body is short of calcium, the release of neurotransmitters is affected, and the excitability and function of the nervous system have been declining, which is manifested in children crying day and night, fidgeting and sweating. Middle-aged and elderly people show neurasthenia, decreased nerve regulation and adaptability.

3. Calcium is a very important nutrient in muscle contraction.

Calcium and magnesium are responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation. Lack can lead to muscle spasms, spasms and hand-foot convulsions. If the intestinal muscles are insufficient, it will lead to intestinal muscle peristalsis and constipation. If the calcium in the stomach muscle is deficient, it will reduce the working efficiency of the stomach, and food digestion for too long will lead to indigestion.

4. Calcium can regulate the rhythm of heartbeat.

Calcium ion is one of the exciting ions in the heart. Adequate calcium in the body helps to keep the heart excited for normal beating. Maintaining the normal excitement of the heart also has a positive effect on maintaining the ability of blood to transport nutrients. In addition, enough calcium in the blood helps to prevent high blood pressure and heart disease. Therefore, in daily life, proper use of calcium tablets is good for the heart and also helps to prevent some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
