The body typically absorbs about 30% to 40% of calcium from natural food sources at a time, though this can vary based on factors such as age, dietary composition, and the presence of other nutrients that enhance or inhibit absorption. For example, vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, while high levels of dietary fiber or certain phytates can reduce it. Additionally, the efficiency of absorption may decrease with higher amounts of calcium consumed in one sitting.

How much calcium would typically be absorbed by a normal adult with a calcium intake of a thousand mg?

Explain why a large increase in the intake of calcium can pose a health problem?
Excessive intake of calcium can lead to hypercalcemia, a condition where there is too much calcium in the blood. This can cause symptoms such as kidney stones, abdominal pain, and muscle weakness. Over time, it may also increase the risk of cardiovascular issues and impaired kidney function.
What is a good source of calcium and protein?
ANSWER:Any milk or milk by product like cheese is both high in protein and calcium. Unfortunately, animal protein causes calcium to be excreted in the urine. Much better food sources of protein and calcium are leafy green vegetables and legumes (beans, peas, lentils, and peanuts).
What happens if you get too much calcium?
If you get too much calcium you may get calcium deposits on your bones.
How much calcium would be typically absorbed by a normal adult with a calcium intake of 1000 mg and what substance facilitates calcium absorption?
A normal adult typically absorbs around 30-40% of the calcium they consume, so with an intake of 1000 mg, it's likely that they would absorb around 300-400 mg. Vitamin D is a key substance that facilitates calcium absorption in the body.
Why does spinach not give you a great amount of iron when you eat it?
Spinach, as well as other vegetables that have iron in them, have a form that is not very easily absorbed (non-heme iron), while iron from animal sources is much more easily absorbed (heme iron).
What will happen if you have too much dietary fiber?
Too much fiber/fibre can possibly reduce the amount of magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, and copper that is absorbed from the foods we eat. In addition, too much roughage/fiber can cause intestinal pain/cramps.
How much calcium is in sprite?
Sprite contains a negligible amount of calcium, typically around 1% of the daily value per 12-ounce serving. This is primarily due to the presence of calcium citrate, which is added for flavor and stability. However, it is not considered a significant source of calcium compared to dairy products or fortified beverages. For adequate calcium intake, it's better to rely on other dietary sources.
