Best absorbed calcium assisters

With the right type of diet, you can include some of the best absorbed calcium assisters that will help the body process the calcium to an optimum level. According to Dr L Wilson, there are many things you can use to best absorb calcium.

Magnesium helps keep calcium in solution.  Good sources are cooked vegetables, almond butter and kelp.  I don’t recommend eating nuts and seeds because they are too yin and harder to digest.

Silica is another calcium synergist.  It may be transmuted into calcium according to Dr. Louis Kervan, author of Biological Transmutations.

Chlorine, hydrochloric acid in the stomach and adequate protein in the diet are also required for calcium utilization.

Potassium.  This is another potent calcium synergist, although in high quantity it can become an antagonist by dissolving calcium from the bones and elsewhere.  See the section in this article and separate articles on Fast Oxidation for more on this topic.  Potassium is absolutely critical for calcium metabolism in many enzymes.  In fact, a recent study found that potassium is required for bone strength or density. (Jehle, S., et al., Partial neutralization of the acidogenic Western diet with potassium citrate increases bone mass in women with osteopenia, J Am SocNephrol. 2006;17:3212.)

Copper is required to fix calcium in the bones and helps raise the hair tissue calcium level.  Many people have biologically unavailable copper which causes their calcium problems.  In fast oxidizers, copper deficiency contributes to a calcium deficiency.

Iodine is required for thyroid activity.  Low thyroid activity is associated with biounavailable calcium and calcium deposition in the soft tissues. The best sources of iodine are fish and sea vegetables such as kelp. Iodized salt is not as good a source.  Also, I do not recommend Iodoral or Lugol’s solution. Both are toxic and will build up in the liver.

Boron apparently improves adrenal gland activity, which makes copper more available.  Boron is found in beans, leafy greens and bone extracts.

Vitamins A and D are important for calcium utilization and are commonly deficient. Vitamin D is only found in enriched milk, fish oils, lanolin and from sun exposure.  Vitamin A is only found in fish oils and meats.

Some people substitute beta carotene for vitamin A.  However, beta carotene must be converted to vitamin A and deficient thyroid activity – almost universal today – impairs the conversion.  I always recommend vitamin A, not beta carotene, for this reason.

Adequate adrenal hormones levels are also essential for proper calcium metabolism.  Hormone replacement therapy, however, is not the best way to improve adrenal hormone production.  Assuming the glands have not been removed, a nutritional balancing program will easily improve natural hormone production.

Infrared light is also extremely beneficial for calcium metabolism.
