Evidence suggests Vitamin D may help prevent certain cancers such as breast, colon, and certain skin cancers. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone health. The recommended daily calcium amount for supplementation, which can be obtained with either food or supplements or more commonly a combination of both, is 1000mg daily. If further supplementation is needed, wait at least 3-4 hours between dosing. Because of this, do not take more than 500mg of Calcium at one time. When taking Calcium supplements, it is important to remember that there is only minimal absorption beyond 500mg at one time. Coral calcium, contrary to some reports, does not contain more elemental calcium than calcium carbonate, and may be more expensive. Calcium from oyster shell or bone meal may contain heavy metals which can be dangerous. Calcium carbonate contains the most amount of elemental calcium, and is easier on the stomach, but may come in large tablets which may be harder to swallow. It may contain less elemental calcium but is usually supplied in smaller tablets, thus easier to swallow.
Calcium citrate is the best absorbed calcium. Calcium is also essential for normal blood vessel, nerve, enzyme and joint function as well. Calcium is an essential supplement important for bone health, as well as proper muscle function including the heart muscle.
