All living things with skeletons constantly need calcium and phosphorus. Therefore, these substances are included in the diet of all vertebrate species without exception. However, a person lives in an environment where there is not much calcium, and the one that is available is rather poorly absorbed for many reasons.
Why Calcium Is Not Absorbed
First of all, due to the lack of vitamins and other useful substances that help the absorption of trace elements and minerals in the human body. Calcium-based vitamin complexes are the only way to provide your child from an early age with the correct development according to the system originally provided by nature.
The basis of the human body is its bony skeleton. Bones are very dense specialized tissues, consisting of all kinds of organic fibers, channels, cavities filled with living cells. The architecture of the bone tissue resembles an arched bridge – everything in it is built according to mathematical engineering laws – with stiffening ribs, supporting beams and reinforcement. At the same time, bone tissue is a living structure, 50% composed of water.
Our body is constantly renewing itself. Every seven years, all living cells in it are replaced with new ones. In childhood, the renewal process is accelerated many times over, and it is accompanied by the active growth of all tissues. And since calcium is the most “weighty” metal in our body (in an adult, the content of pure calcium is 1 kilogram), especially a lot of it is required during the growth of bone tissue. in children it is very high: 800 mg per day for children 1-3 years old, 900-1000 mg for children 4-6 years old, 1100 mg – 7-10 years old and 1200 mg – 11 years old and older.
When choosing a set of vitamins for a child’s normal growth and development, it is important to know that for the proper growth of bones and healthy teeth, the vitamin complex must necessarily contain calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, C, B6, D3.
The human problem is that he lives in an artificial environment where there is not so much calcium, and the one that is, is rather poorly absorbed for many reasons.
Optimal balance!
It is very important that the ratio of these substances in the diet is selected correctly – after all, an excess or deficiency of one element leads to an incorrect exchange of all others.
The optimal balance, which maintains the entire complex of the child’s metabolism in perfect shape, is provided by carefully balanced vitamins – a reliable source of vitamins and minerals for children from 3 years of age.
The bone tissue of the teeth is somewhat different from other skeletal tissues. It cannot constantly repair itself. Above the tooth is covered with hard enamel, underneath is a layer of dentin – a special bone tissue, which is several times stronger than bone. Dentin is very dense, the content of inorganic compounds is 75%.
Needless to say that extremely important? Everyone knows that the slightest itching in the teeth ruins the appetite, and for a small child it is also a complex mental experience associated with pain.
In adolescence, dental problems can cause severe complexes. That is why the condition of teeth and gums must be monitored from early childhood and properly nourished with minerals and vitamins.
