99% of the calcium in the body is stored in bones and teeth, and the remaining calcium is stored in the blood. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, about 99% of which is found in bones. The main function of calcium is to form bones and teeth and maintain their health. Calcium is also responsible for many metabolic functions, including nerve message transmission, muscle contraction, and maintaining the normal function of the heart muscle. Vitamin D is indispensable in the process of calcium absorption and action. A lack of vitamin D in the body can reduce bone strength and density, leading to joint pain.
Bone mass grows rapidly during childhood and adolescence, reaches a stable peak by age 30, and then slowly decreases with age. Once bone is lost, it cannot be replenished, so before the age of 30, efforts should be made to increase calcium absorption and increase the peak of bone mass. After the age of 30, supplementation should be strengthened to delay loss and maintain healthy bone mass. After women go through menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, which reduces calcium absorption and increases the required calcium intake.
