	Calcium - Benefits, Deficiency, Food Sources
		The limiting factor in the complete absorption of calcium from green leafy vegetables is the presence of oxalic acid with which calcium forms an insoluble compound; calcium oxalate, which interferes with the absorption of calcium Ragi, is a rich source of calcium.
		The bioavailability of calcium from cereals is poor because of the presence of phytic acid, which forms an insoluble compound with calcium, calcium phytate.
		Absorption of calcium is increased by vitamin D and decreased by the presence of phytates, oxalates and fatty acids in the diet.

	The Calcium Information Resource
		Calcium deficiency is usually due to an inadequate intake of calcium.
		If an individual's diet is low in calcium, there may not be sufficient amounts of calcium available in the blood to be returned to the bones to maintain strong bones and total body health.
		Taking calcium regularly, every day, is key to preventing and treating calcium deficiency and to helping reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

	Calcium Deficiency in Reptiles and Amphibians (MBD, lizard, snake, turtle, tortoise, frog, salamander, newt)
		Since the ion product(s) of total skeletal calcium and phosphorus in most vertebrate species are in a ratio of approximately 2:1 it would appear reasonable that the available dietary ratio of these elements also should be in a range of 1:1 to 2:1.
		Hypocalcemia would be expected with nutritional imbalance of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. In other words- hypercalcemia- if it's going to occur, usually results from too much calcium and vitamin D in the diet, or occurs in a female in a follicular stage of egg development.
		If the animal appears ill or is known to be suffering from calcium deficiency you should probably keep the animal at as close to day time temps 24 hours a day as possible until she or he begins to recover.

		Calcium moves out of the bones into the bloodstream as needed to maintain a steady level of calcium in the blood.
		Other causes of hypocalcemia include vitamin D deficiency (due to poor nutrition or inadequate exposure to sunlight), kidney damage (which increases loss of calcium in urine and reduces the kidneys' ability to activate vitamin D), inadequate intake of calcium in the diet, disorders that affect calcium absorption, and pancreatitis.
		An extremely low calcium level may cause tingling (often in the lips, tongue, fingers, and feet), muscle aches, spasms of the muscles in the throat (leading to difficulty breathing), stiffening and spasms of muscles (tetany), and abnormal heart rhythms.

		Given that the losses of calcium in the milk are 1.2 g/ liter or 22 g for a cow yielding 18 liters of milk per day and the normal requirements of maintenance, it can be seen that the amount administered is sufficient only for a few hours.

	Mineral Deficiency \| AHealthyMe.com
		Deficiencies in one nutrient do occur, for example, in human populations living in iodine-poor regions of the world, and in iron deficient persons who lose excess iron by abnormal bleeding.
		Deficiencies in these nutrients tend to result not from a lack of content in the diet, but from excessive losses due to severe diarrhea and other causes.
		The prevention of calcium deficiency is generally not an issue or concern, however calcium supplements are widely used with the hope of preventing osteoporosis.

	Osteoporosis - Reversing Calcium Deficiency
		Calcium is an important essential nutrient, but it must be guarded and controlled, and balanced by adequate magnesium if it is not to cause damage to the cells and the body as a whole." —Mildred S. Seelig, M.D. 1) The high consumption of calcium ingestion combined with low magnesium levels is a major factor.
		Many people are unaware that the calcium they are taking is being stored in the soft tissue, organs and joints, also called calcium deposits, simply because the necessary magnesium is not available to assist the calcium to properly assimilate.
		Eating calcium rich, raw vegetables or juicing them is the easiest way to put calcium into our bodies, and then supplementing with water soluble magnesium citrate to properly absorb the calcium and to dissolve calcium deposits.
