Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Calcium is a mineral found in the following natural resources:  milk, yogurt, kale, cheeses, collard greens, salmon, sardines with bones, mustard greens, broccoli, figs, orange juice, carob, oats, prunes, asparagus, sesame seeds, soybeans, tofu, watercress, and whey. It will absorbs better through your intestine when combined with magnesium, boron, essential fatty acids, lysine, manganese, phosphorous, vitamins A,C,D,F, cobalt, folic acid, iron, and zinc.  Calcium deficiency symptoms include muscle spasms, rickets, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis.  The only side effect that can come from taking to high of a dose of calcium is kidney stones. The daily recommended dose of calcium is 1,000-1,500 mg and of course the best way to take it is in a liquid. Ours is only $25 bucks for a months supply. Calcium also acts as a nervous system suppressant and muscle relaxer so take it before bed and it will help you wind down and sleep better.
