Is an essential mineral, it provides the
necessary nutriments for normal growth and mineralization of the skeleton. In addition
calcium aids in muscle growth, blood clotting, normal heart rate, transmission of nerve
impulses, and helps prevent cardiovascular disease. Calcium is needed for muscular growth,
muscle contraction and for prevention of muscle cramps. Calcium also provides energy and
participates in the protein structuring of RNA and DNA. It is involved in the activation
of several enzymes, including lipase, which breaks down fats for utilization by the body.
Calcium is an effective aid in keeping skin healthy, protects against the development of
preclampsia during pregnancy and helps the body eliminate lead and other heavy metal
poisoning. Calcium deficiencies can lead to: aching joints, brittle nails, eczema, heart palpitations, muscle cramps, nervousness, rickets, tooth decay and bone fractures. Cats that are calcium deficient hide in dark corners and avoid being handled. Calcium deficiencies may also be caused by diets that are high in meat, as meat contains an unbalanced amount of phosphorus. |
