Organic Calcium Powder

The indiscriminately use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture can have severe impact on human health ranging from toxicity and deadly diseases. We at ARYAN, are committed to address this challenge by working towards the organic food which uses herbal plants based extracts and adopts phytoremediation for removal of hazardous substances and toxic metals. For last two decades, our group has been involved in the production of Organic botanical extracts, organic essential oils, organic edible oil, organic spices, organic starch, organic flours, organic seeds. Now we are focusing on organic minerals and organic vitamins. By now ARYAN has carved a niche for itself in the field of ORGANIC FOODS and is continuously moving in leaps and bounds. Taking a leaf out of this growth, we intend to start the production of our “Organic calcium”. Our vitamin is purely organic and does not use any chemical compounds. Unlike other organic calcium available in the market, ours is totally “Gluten Free”. We have already developed the organic calcium and shortly file the patent so that commercial production can star in near future.

Functioning in the Body

  • Calcium is needed throughout your life. Most of your bone mass is built when you are a child

or young adult. After the bone building period ends, bone mass must be maintained. The main way to build and maintain bone mass is to have a diet rich in calcium.

  • Calcium is needed to keep bones strong and healthy and to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It also helps maintain healthy teeth, normal blood clotting, and makes your heart and muscles work as they should.
  • Most abundant mineral in the body. Around 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it is essential for growth and maintenance.
  • Calcium in the bones amounts to 25 g at birth and builds up to about 1200 g in an adult. Around 1% is found in the blood, muscle, and cell fluids where it is needed for muscle contraction, heart contraction, blood clotting, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.

There are many sources of calcium, these include the following: Cauliflower, watercress, brussels

sprouts, rutabaga, kale, mustard greens, broccoli, turnip greens sesame seeds, pinto beans, sweet potatoes,Spinach, rhubarb,almond,soy,green peas,Black-eyed peas,milk.

Recommended Dietary Allowances

The FNB(Food and Nutrition Board established an RDA for Calcium in both International Units (IUs)

and micrograms (mcg).

Health benefits

It is an essential mineral for healthy bones, gums, and teeth. Doctors often recommend women to take calcium supplements, particularly those who show early signs of bone problems such as osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Strengthens Bones

Calcium strengthens the backbone, helps alleviate the presence of back pain, and keeps the bones in their proper shape. It also prevents arthritis and osteoporosis, which could hamper your freedom of movement and be extremely painful

Weight Loss

Calcium efficiently helps in maintaining optimal body weight in both males and females. If there is any deficiency of the mineral in your diet, the body will tend to release parathyroid hormone, which in turn stimulates the bones to release it into your bloodstream. This maintains the balance. On the other side, the parathyroid hormone also stimulates the production of fat and prevents its break down, which can subsequently make you obese.

Protects Cardiac Muscles

It protects your heart muscles.Sufficient amounts of this essential mineral can help cardiac muscles contract and relax properly. It also helps   the nervous system maintain   a proper   pressure in your arteries. If there is a calcium drop, a hormone called calcitriol is released, which contracts the smooth muscles of the arteries, thereby increasing the blood pressure. Cardiac muscles need extracellular calcium ions for contraction. When the intracellular concentration of calcium increases, the ions gather together on the protein troponin.

Prevents Colon Cancer

Adequate calcium prevents the overall risk of colon cancer and suppresses the growth of polyps that can lead to cancer.   Its supplementation   reduces   the   risk   of   adenomas as   well   as nonmalignant tumors of the colon. This is actually a precursor to colon cancer, but it’s still not known if calcium intake minimizes the cancer risk completely.

Reduces Premenstrual Depression

Adequate amounts of calcium lessen the symptoms of a premenstrual syndrome like dizziness, mood swings, hypertension, and many others. Low levels of the mineral might trigger the release of the hormones that are responsible for premenstrual mood swings including irritability and depression.

Prevents Kidney Stones

The most common form of kidney stones is oxalate stones. Previously, it was thought that a high intake or high absorption of the minerals develop kidney stones, but latest studies show that a high dietary calcium intake decreases the risk of kidney stones considerably.

Controls Alkaline pH Level

Junk food, excess sugars, and preserved food items contribute to forming acidity in the body, which in turn could give rise to various conditions like cancer, kidney stones, and hypertension. Calcium helps maintain a healthy pH level, thereby improving your vitality and overall health.

Regulates Blood Pressure

Research has stated that a vegetarian diet with high amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber will result in a regulated blood pressure.

Dental Care

Calcium protects your teeth by keeping the jaw bone strong and sturdy throughout your life, which in turn ensures tight fitting teeth where bacteria cannot thrive. Thus, before your teeth and gums start giving you any trouble, be sure to maintain a calcium-rich diet. Its intake should be high, especially at young ages, so that children can grow up with strong teeth.

Transportation of Nutrients

It helps in the easy movement of nutrients across cell membranes.

Calcium Defiency

Over the long term, inadequate calcium intake causes osteopenia which if untreated can lead to osteoporosis. The risk of bone fractures also increases, especially in older individuals.Calcium deficiency can also cause rickets, though it is more commonly associated with vitamin D deficiency Calcium absorption from gut depends upon number of factors. Absorption is greatest when the intake

of calcium is low and the need is high. Vitamin D levels, an acidic environment, age, estrogen levels, and dietary fibre intake play a role in calcium absorption.

Precaution

Side effects with the proper use of calcium are rare. Count the calcium you take in as part of your diet, and only take the amount that is needed to reach your recommended daily amount. You should stop taking the supplements and contact your doctor if you have any of these signs: Pain when you empty your bladder, Blood in your urine, Pain in your lower back or abdomen,You need to empty your bladder often,Constipation and gas can also be problems with calcium use. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat fiber to avoid these problems.

Other things to know Do not take more than 1500 mg of calcium daily, without physician supervision. Be sure to read the amount of elemental calcium contained in each tablet.
