DESCRIPTION:

It is well known and documented that a correct composition of calcium in the blood is an absolute necessity for vital processes of the human body. Calcium is a macronutrient that affects virtually everything – our skin, bones, teeth, heart, kidneys, liver, and other organs. For children, the mineral is all the more important to maintain and facilitate growth and development. It is therefore important that a deficiency in calcium composition be corrected promptly and efficiently.

Calcium can be adequately ingested and absorbed by a well-balanced and nutritious diet. It is only when the diet is lacking in healthy foodstuffs that a deficiency of calcium results. Natural sources of calcium are plenty and easily available. Most notable is milk. Milk and milk products form an essential part of a balanced diet and they are simply irreplaceable. For children, milk is of the utmost importance to maintain healthy growth.

There are other sources of calcium also. Apart from milk, curd and cheese, non-dairy products too contain calcium in significant amount. Cabbage, broccoli and spinach are some of these. Sea food is also a notable source. Almonds and fox nuts can also be included in the diet to maintain adequate calcium proportion. Oranges are also a good source of the same. Beans, tofu, figs are some other mentionable sources of this mineral. 

A deficiency of calcium manifests in many ways. Muscle cramps and spasms become common. Even relatively lighter activity causes fatigue, cramps and muscle soreness. Tingling can be felt in the hands and feet. Numbness may also occur in extreme deficiencies. As muscles require calcium to function, low levels cause quick fatigue and exhaustion develops as the day progresses. Skin may become dry and scaly. Teeth become loose and caries may develop. In children severe deficiency of calcium manifests as rickets. Rickets is easily avoidable if dietary levels of calcium are maintained. Other signs and symptoms that occur in severe calcium deficiency are abnormal heart rhythm, seizures, confusion and even memory loss.

Apart from dietary intake of calcium, a deficiency can be replenished by an adequate calcium supplement. These supplements provide calcium that can be easily assimilated, and normal levels can be maintained this way. The homeopathic medicine for calcium deficiency is Calciokind by Schwabe India.
