| | Understanding Osteoporosis, Calcium, and Estrogen Activity |
| | Adequate calcium in the blood is so vital to a wide variety of bodily functions that our internal biochemistry will not tolerate a deficiency even for short periods. | | | Unfortunately, this 'bone calcium' is very alkaline and is difficult for the body to properly acidify for other biochemical functions. | | | This is why a deficiency of calcium or a difficulty of calcium absorption, even for short periods of time, can result in a significant percent of bone loss. |
