Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Calcium is scientifically validated as essential for supporting the structural system, particularly bone health. Numerous studies and authoritative health organizations, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), recognize calcium as a critical mineral for the development, maintenance, and strength of bones and teeth. Approximately 99% of the body’s calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it provides structural integrity. Calcium is vital for bone mineralization during growth and helps maintain bone density throughout life, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in older adults. Clinical trials and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that adequate dietary calcium intake, especially when combined with vitamin D, can significantly improve bone mineral density and lower fracture risk. Calcium supplementation is commonly prescribed for individuals at risk of deficiency or osteoporosis. Recommendations for adequate calcium intake are based on age, gender, and physiological needs, and are supported by a robust body of scientific literature. In summary, calcium’s role in supporting the structural system is thoroughly substantiated by scientific research.
