Decreased Bone Density (Osteoporosis)
Reduced bone mineral density [6] brings people with low calcium levels closer to osteoporosis. Bone density decreases because the body uses calcium for other vital functions. This disease makes them thinner, making them more susceptible to bone fractures. Often people with osteoporosis develops pain, problems with posture and, possibly, disability. Calcium is slowly lost from the bone even though it tries to retain it, but they require a high level of the mineral in order not to lose strengths. Therefore, do not panic! It takes years to lose the required bone density. It takes a long time to establish a deficit and cause serious problems. Participants in a 2019 study reported improved mood and decreased fluid retention, after regularly taking calcium supplements for just two months.
