Calcium Citrate
Although it has been said that "calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body," the evidence shows that most people, as they get older, will need to take supplemental calcium in their diet, especially when they are 60 years old, or over. As people get older, they not only lose muscle mass, but they also lose bone mass. They get skinnier, and shorter. These are the common facts.
There is a logical biological reason why "calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body". And that is because our body needs mineral calcium the most, and in order to meet that need calcium is abundantly supplied in the body.
How do we get the extra calcium into our body? Mainly from our food, a good healthy well balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, poultry, fish, meat, etc. But as people get older, and their income become more limited, they become more selective in their diet. Instead of drinking milk, they drink wine or beer. Instead of eating a variety of vegetables and fruits that are high in minerals and fiber, they eat prune fruits only. Older people adapt to or develop poor eating habits that they never had when they were younger. Consequently, their bodies are deficient in the important nutrients that the body needs, such as calcium, a nutrient that should be abundantly present in our body.
I have included on this page a link about Calcium which I hope will persuade you about the importance of getting "enough" calcium in the diet.
I wish you well.
