1. Calcium ion is a coagulation factor and participates in the coagulation process;
2. Participate in the contraction process of muscles including skeletal muscle and smooth muscle;
3. Participate in the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters and the synthesis and secretion of hormones;
4. It is an important substance composed of bones;
Wait a minute.
The increase of intracellular calcium ion leads to abnormal decline or failure of cell function, which is the process of aging of the body.
In other words, the process of human aging (the process of organ function decline) is the process of intracellular calcium increase.
Why does intracellular calcium increase?
Calcium deficiency is a major and important factor: calcium deficiency-increased parathyroid hormone secretion-bone calcium dissolved and released into the blood (which can lead to osteoporosis)-calcium enters cells-intracellular calcium increases-calcitonin secretion increases-blood calcium returns to bones and leads to bone hyperplasia.
The above process is a cycle and feedback process.
Intracellular calcium increases, smooth muscle tension increases, and some people's blood pressure increases-hypertension.
Judging from the above circulation process, blood calcium can't really reflect the calcium level of human body. Therefore, it is impossible to judge whether there is calcium deficiency by blood calcium level.
Therefore, proper calcium supplementation has important clinical significance for delaying aging and preventing diseases.
But there is no cure-all! ! Be careful!
