Cellular Functions and Fluxes of Calcium

  • Chapter
Calcium in Human Health

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Abstract

The divalent cation, or ionized, calcium—Ca2+—is a mineral that is critical to normal human health, playing vital roles in fertilization, metabolism, blood clotting, nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, structure of the bony skeleton, and cellular communication. As covered in detail in Chapter 9, the primary dietary sources of calcium in contemporary diets are dairy products and to a lesser extent, leafy green vegetables. Dietary recommendations for calcium vary with age and pregnancy, as discussed in Chapter 8. When considering dietary sources, it is important to recognize the fact that ionized calcium is the biologically active form of the mineral and that bioavailability of calcium varies among different food groups.
