Calcium Supplements in Ayurveda

Calcium Supplements in Ayurveda!

 

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and plays an important role in our body's basic functions. Calcium also plays a major role in tooth and bone health as well. Almost all calcium in the body is stored in the bones; if you don't get enough calcium from your diet the body will take it from your bones.

Your body doesn’t produce calcium, so you have to depend on the diet to get the calcium that you need. If calcium intake is truly inadequate bone mineralisation may be impaired in children and bone loss accelerated in adults. Lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis which is especially common in older people.

Vitamin-D is required for calcium absorption in the gut and to maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood.

Females who have attained menopause or near to menopause can lose bone density at a higher rate than males or younger people and have a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. Pregnant and breastfeeding women too require more calcium than normal people.

Doctors may recommend calcium supplements to people who have calcium deficiency. Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are the two most recommended forms of calcium supplements.

It is best to obtain sufficient calcium through dietary sources such as dairy products ( milk, cheese, yogurt etc), dark green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, fortified fruit juices etc). Daily requirement of calcium in adults is nearly 1000-1200mg depending on their age and sex.

Ayurvedic calcium supplements are used in a wide range of morbidities and are from plant, animal and mineral origin. They are also administered along with a suitable anupana which further aids the easy absorption and assimilation of these components over the modern calcium supplements.

Ayurvedic drugs like Godanti, Shankha, Sudha, kukutandatwak, Shigru,Satavari, tila, etc have been used for the cure of diseases and also for wellness.
