The Little Mineral That Could, From PMS to colon cancer and high blood pressure, calcium rules
It could be a new ad campaign: Calcium — It's Not Just for Bones Anymore. Although the bones hoard 99 percent of a person's calcium, that remaining 1 percent circulates through the far reaches of the body. It helps nerves tell muscles when to contract, thus preventing cramps. It smooths the flow of impulses between nerves and the brain. Calcium also aids digestion, by contributing to the production of saliva and enzymes, and heals wounds through its role in clotting. One recently discovered benefit will resonate with women: it seems to ease premenstrual syndrome. In the largest-ever study of PMS, researchers led by endocrinologist Susan Thys-Jacobs of St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York divided 500 women into two groups. One group took 1,200 mg of calcium a day; the other took a placebo. After three menstrual cycles, the calcium group reported a nearly 50 percent drop in four major PMS symptoms: mood swings, pain, water retention and food cravings. The placebo group saw just a 30 percent decrease. "No other drug addresses all these symptoms as effectively," says Thys-Jacobs. She speculates that two potent hormones that control the movement of calcium in and out of bones work overtime in some women, causing the miserable symptoms of PMS. "I think PMS is a signal that a woman is not taking enough calcium, and a marker for possible future osteoporosis," says Thys-Jacobs. Doctors also suspect a link between low calcium levels and high blood pressure.
