Calcium can be derived from leafy greens, some nuts, any calcium fortified product as well as dairy products. The body will flush out what it doesn’t need, then do not consume Calcium more than the body can assimilates. As we know that Calcium is so important for building bones however the consumption of organic calcium is better than the inorganic calcium (in the form of supplements). Then fresh green vegetables and fruits is better for the intake of calcium of our bodies, this because the chlorophyll found in any green plants and vegetables contains magnesium, which is the important thing for uptake of calcium.
The National Institutes of Health recommend the dosage of calcium per day as 1,000-1,500 mg. Normally, people have the supplement product instead of consumption of the organic calcium as fruit, some nuts, and dairy products. But be reminded that calcium carbonate contains only 40% of calcium, for example, 1,000mg tablet of it provides only 400 mg of calcium. Then if we have only calcium carbonate, it may be not sufficient for the body. As we know that the good source of calcium is cow’s milk but its protein content is extremely creates acidic residue and if we continuing consume large amount of milk, we will loss alkaline minerals and bones will become weak. In summary, cow’s milk isn’t the best for our bodies; we can get plenty of calcium from green leafy vegetables, fruit, and some nuts for substitution (organic calcium).
