When is calcium necessary?
Calcium is essential for maintaining the necessary level of bone mass to support the structures of the body. The body is constantly using calcium for the heart, blood, muscles and nerves. Calcium is also lost through normal bodily processes such as waste and the shedding of hair, fingernails, sweat and skin. Generally speaking, the body requires a little more calcium as it ages. For example, a 1 year old only needs 270 mg of calcium while a 7 year old needs 800 mg. At age 50 or older, you'll need 1,200 mg. Calcium is a necessary part of the body at all times. Taking in additional calcium is required for those with a deficiency. Some people take extra calcium while pregnant or lactating.
Is sweat salt dissolved salt in our bodies?
Sweat is largely water. There is no salt in human sweat. Human sweat tastes salty because it contains potassium chloride, no sodiumm chloride. Salt functions as an electrolyte and is used in muscle contraction causing calcium and potassium to shift in the muscle cells, the heart muscle cells as well, allowing for engery to be used. Salt is regulated by nephrons of the kidneys (1 million in each) and is excreeted into the urine. High blood sodium/salt levels usually result in high salt content in urine. Both sweat and urine are drinkable fluids in the absence of water and can save your life in a crisis.
What are the 3 things found in sweat?
The following confirm my expectations (as a guy who has done a lot of sweating). http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/12970 Sweat normally contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia. http://www.ultracycling.com/nutrition/electrolytes.html The major route for sodium loss is sweat. Because potassium is held inside the cells, it is not lost at high rates provided there is adequate sodium in the body. Normal (for cyclists) sweat rates can range from 0.75 to 2 Liters/hour, depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity, pace, clothing, and the degree of heat acclimation the rider has. A rate of one Liter/hour is not uncommon for an acclimated cyclist. At that rate, typical electrolyte loss rates by sweat are 1,300 mg/hr for sodium, and 230 mg/hr for potassium.

What is sweat made up of?
Sweat is water. But it is not all water. It contains urea and sometimes lactates. It also has minerals that may include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and smaller amounts of zinc, copper, chromium, nickel and lead. However, it also depends on how much of these you have in your body. If you have a high amount of these things in your body, more will escape in the sweat.
What kind of salts are in human sweat?
Sweat is largely water. There is no salt in human sweat. Human sweat tastes salty because it contains potassium chloride, not sodium chloride. Salt's main function is as a fluidic electrolyte in blood tissue, and is used in muscle contraction causing calcium and potassium to shift in the muscle cells, the heart muscle cells as well, allowing for engery to be used. Salt is regulated by nephrons of the kidneys (1 million in each) and is excreeted into the urine. High blood sodium/salt levels usually result in high salt content in urine. Sweat and urine are drinkable fluids in the absence of water and can save your life in a crisis.
