KeywordsĬalcium formulation, Absorption mechanism, Influence factors,Īcid calcium, Calcium amino acid chelate,Ĭollagen peptide chelated calcium INTRODUCTIONĬalcium, the 20th element in the periodic table, is the most abundant mineral element in the human body.

Calcium peptides have the advantages of high absorption efficiency, no side effects and high solubility.

At present, the most common calcium supplement in the market is inorganic calcium and organic acid calcium. The classification of the calcium formulation includes inorganic calcium, organic acid calcium, calcium amino acid chelate and collagen peptide chelated calcium. So we should choose the right dose for calcium supplement. The adverse effects of calcium overdose include cardiovascular disease, kidney stones, prostate cancer and adverse gastrointestinal events. Calcium absorption is influenced by hormones, dietary ingredients, personal factors and other factors, of which hormones are the most important factor. This paper mainly introduces the absorption mechanism of calcium factors affecting calcium absorption, the side effect of the excess of the calcium formulation and the classification of the calcium formulation. This review summarizes the physiological function and the absorption mechanism of calcium as well as the factors affecting the calcium absorption.

Calcium in the blood, extracellular fluid and soft tissue cells can maintain the normal contraction of skeletal muscle and myocardium maintain the permeability of biological membranes, and secretion and storage of hormones. Calcium in bones and teeth can maintain the firmness of bones and teeth and prevents various orthopaedic diseases, including osteoporosis, osteopenia, osteomalacia and rickets. 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth, and 1% in blood, extracellular fluids and soft tissue cells called mixed calcium pools. Calcium is an important mineral element in the human body, which affects human life and health.
