Say [calcium supplement] OK, it’s us.
It is also us who say [calcium supplement] is not good.
It doesn’t matter, we have always been so unstable.
Of course, one can not be firm, but for the questions behind the uncertainty, we still need to make an end of them in due course. Today, Dr. Clove will come to talk to you about three common rumors about calcium supplement.
1. Can calcium supplement cause kidney stones or gallstones?
First of all, calcium supplement will not induce stones.
Secondly, the vast majority of stone patients did not supplement calcium before onset.
Thirdly, the occurrence of stones is caused by metabolic disorders and has nothing to do with calcium supplement.
Kidney stones occur because oxalate, a compound in urine, is too high. Gallstones occur because there is a problem with cholesterol metabolism.
Calcium normally eaten into the body will quietly [precipitate] in the bone. When the metabolism of organs such as kidney and gallbladder goes wrong, the calcium originally staying in the bone will [move] to the blood and follow the blood to the related organs to form stones.
Perhaps you will think that if there is no calcium in the bone, there will be no calcium to run around.
No.
Moderate calcium supplement helps stimulate the blood calcium self-stabilizing system, reduce [calcium movement], and let the existing calcium continue to stay quietly in the bone to play a role. Therefore, the fact is, moderate calcium supplement can actually prevent the occurrence of stones.
2. Will too much calcium supplement lead to hyperosteogeny?
No! Calcium supplement will not only not lead to hyperosteogeny, but also make our bones healthier.
Osteogeny, commonly known as [bone spur], patients often feel pain, like a prick into the skin. Most bone spurs are mainly caused by two reasons:
- Incorrect posture during exercise or labor, or too heavy a burden of physical work; After joint wear, cartilage did not grow well during repair.
Therefore, the prevention of bone spur should also start from these two aspects:
- Correct the wrong posture, and moderate exercise and work, don’t too hard, don’t get hurt; Proper calcium supplement and balanced diet help normal bone metabolism and reduce the possibility of bone spur.
Hyperosteogeny is more common in the elderly, and its occurrence has nothing to do with calcium supplement.
3. Will calcium supplement cause [placental aging]?
Placental aging is a stage that placenta will naturally experience in the process of growth and development, and has nothing to do with calcium supplement.
We all know that the mother and the fetus are connected by the umbilical cord and the placenta.
The mother transports all kinds of nutrients and oxygen needed by the baby to the fetus through the placenta, and all kinds of metabolic wastes generated by the fetus are also transported to the mother through the placenta and then discharged by the mother.
Placenta aging is mainly placenta vascular aging, just like the aging of blood vessels when people get older, is a stage of their own development, and calcium supplement has nothing to do with it. Of course, there are also some pregnant mothers who have not aged their placenta function even if they have expired their pregnancy.
Changes in placental function can be understood through ultrasound and fetal heart monitoring.
Instead of letting innocent calcium carry these puzzling pots, it is better to think about how to supplement calcium scientifically and timely with Dr. Clove. Don’t be blinded by rumors.
