Marine Calcium Background and Benefits

Calcium is a chemical element with 20 as its atomic number. It is an essential nutrient for all organisms, particularly for cell signaling and structural components. The movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm of a cell regulates many cellular processes. Calcium is also used to strengthen bones, shells, and teeth.
Calcium is the most abundant metal found in most animals, including humans. Calcium in the human body is found in the bones and teeth, and about one percent is used for cellular processes such as the release of neurotransmitters and the regulation of muscle contractions.
 
There are many sources of calcium in the diet, but they can pose problems for calcium absorption. Dairy products, for example, contain a lot of calcium, but many people are lactose intolerant. Because of this intolerance, a person cannot consume more than half a liter of non-fermented dairy products per serving. Allergy to dairy products prevents many people from consuming them.
 
Green leafy vegetables such as chard, kale, spinach, and rhubarb are also high in calcium, but can also contain significant amounts of oxalic acid. This organic acid can combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate, which inhibits the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream.

Uses of marine calcium

The use of marine calcium in dietary supplements primarily relates to its role as a major component of bone. It supports digestive functions, menstruation, and kidney health.

Signs that you need marine calcium

Among the most common signs that you may benefit from supplementing with marine calcium are muscle tremors, which in severe cases can lead to involuntary contractions. Other signs that you need marine calcium include loss of bone mass and abnormal heart rhythms.
You need marine calcium if you want to maintain a healthy bone mass and healthy teeth, if you are menopausal, have a vitamin D deficiency, suffer from chronic kidney disease, or have a poor parathyroid function.
