Calcium & Vitamin C

Calcium & Vitamin C

Overview

Strong bones and a healthy immune system are essential toyour health. Calcium and vitamin C are essential to the healthand strength of your bones and the proper functioning of yourimmune system. Both calcium and vitamin C have to be obtainedfrom the diet, and both are essential dietary elements from birthto death. According to the Linus Pauling Institute (LPI) at theUniversity of Oregon, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant thatprotects against chronic degenerative diseases, and lifelongadequate amounts of calcium confers protection againstosteoporosis and bone fractures in the elderly.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that is absorbed in thestomach. It stimulates the production and function of white blood

cells; however, according to the Linus Pauling Institute, few studies exist that support theidea that vitamin C boosts immunity. Vitamin C dilates blood vessels (vasodilation) inpeople with hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and chestpains or angina due to coronary artery disease. Vasodilation effects of vitamin C areachieved when taking doses of 500 mg per day. Some studies have shown decrease inblood pressure in patients taking vitamin C supplements in conjunction with theirantihypertensive medications. Vitamin C supplements may also reduce the risk of cataractsand gout. Consult your physician before embarking on a vitamin C supplement regimen.

Calcium

Calcium is the major mineral in the human body, 99 percent of which is in the bones andteeth; the remainder is found in soft tissues and blood. Calcium is important in stabilizingproteins and enzymatic reactions. It plays a role in the contraction and dilation of bloodvessels, the contraction of muscles, propagation of nerve impulses and secretion ofhormones such as insulin. Calcium balance is maintained by the pituitary and parathyroidglands, the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and interaction of sunlight with the skin. VitaminD enables you to absorb calcium from food. According to the Mayo Clinic dermatologists,vitamin D contained in food and nutritional supplements is safer than the risk of spending10 to 15 minutes in the sun 2 or 3 times per week. High protein intake, diets rich in sodiumand caffeine, and cigarettes can increase calcium losses through the kidneys. Low calciumintake has been linked to premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, and pregnancy-inducedhypertension, or pre-eclampsia, in at-risk women. Studies have shown that a calcium-richdiet can decrease your risk of colorectal cancer and may also reduce the tendency toaccumulate body fat. Calcium supplementation is also associated with a decrease insystolic and diastolic blood pressures. According to the Cleveland Clinic, 74 percent ofAfrican Americans and 90 percent of Asians are lactose intolerant which can reduce theamount of calcium obtained in their diets. For the treatment of lactose intolerance, theCleveland Clinic recommends the addition of several drops of lactase enzyme to dairyproducts prior to ingestion, taking a tablet of lactase enzyme with the first bite of food, orthe use of lactose reduced milk or cream.

Nutrition and Health Effects

Natural and synthetic vitamin C are identical. There are no studies to prove that one formof vitamin C is better absorbed than another. The recommended daily allowance or RDAfor vitamin C for adults age 19 and older is 90 mg per day for men and 75 mg per day forwomen. Smokers require 125 mg per day for men and 110 mg per day for women.

Article Sources:Adamson JW & Longo DL. Anemia. In: Kasper DL, FauciAS, Loscalzo J, Longo DL, Braunwald E, Hauser SL,Jameson JL, eds. Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine.

Anemia occurs when the number of healthy red blood cells (RBCs) in the body is toolow. Red cells carry oxygen to all the body’s tissues, so a low red blood cell countindicates that the amount of oxygen in the blood is lower than it should be. Many ofthe symptoms of anemia are caused by decreased oxygen delivery to tissues andorgans.

Anemia is measured according to the amount of hemoglobin, the protein that carriesoxygen, in RBCs. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines anemia as lessthan 13 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter for men, and less than 12 grams ofhemoglobin per deciliter for women. Approximately three million Americans sufferfrom anemia. Women and people with chronic diseases are at highest risk of anemia.
