3 nutrients that help the body absorb calcium

HẠ MÂY (T/H) |

Nutrients that help calcium be absorbed and used in the body include vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin C...

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is the most important factor affecting calcium absorption. Vitamin D from food or sunlight helps increase the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine, thereby supporting strong bone and tooth health.

Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium are always present in pairs and the ratio 2:1 is best for the absorption and use of calcium. Therefore, when supplementing calcium, pay attention to your magnesium intake.

Foods rich in magnesium include nuts (almonds, cashews and peanuts), seeds ( sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds), grains (merge and barley), seafood (ton, shrimp, lobster).

Vitamin C

The high vitamin C content in fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, and lemons can help the small intestine absorb calcium better.

In addition, we should drink a glass of milk for breakfast. The reason is that milk is not only rich in calcium but also contains ingredients that promote calcium absorption. This helps increase calcium absorption, helping you achieve the recommended daily calcium intake.
