Drink calcium tablets after meals
Drinking calcium glass needs to be broken down into calcium ions under the effect of stomach acid. Without the breakdown and digestion of stomach acid, calcium will not be absorbed and used well by the body. When hungry, the amount of flavored dichue secreted is very small. Eating will stimulate the secretion of more stomach fluid, so calcium tablets should not be taken on an empty stomach.
When you take calcium tablets after meals, the secretion of flavorings can help separate more calcium ions, helping the body absorb calcium better. Therefore, you should take calcium tablets within an hour of eating.
Drink calcium tablets many times, in small amounts
It is difficult for our body to absorb more than 500 mg of calcium at a time. If you want to supplement calcium by taking calcium tablets, it is best to choose a small amount of calcium tablets of 100-300 mg and divide it into several takes.
If you take too much at one time, the usage rate may decrease. At the same time, if you have eaten a lot of calcium-rich foods during meals, you should not take calcium tablets at the same time, otherwise the body will have difficulty absorbing and using them.
You should avoid taking calcium tablets at the same time as calcium-rich foods such as milk and cheese to avoid affecting calcium absorption. You can also drink half a dose of calcium at breakfast and the rest at dinner.
Combined with exercise
Exercise can stimulate bone cell activity, boost metabolism, increase bone strength and flexibility. At the same time, it activates bone growth potential.
If you do not exercise for a long time, the need and ability of bones to use calcium will decrease. Reduced bone calcium needs and increased calcium loss will lead to reduced bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
