CALCIUM

Possible MS Help
Specific Issues Regarding the Antioxidant Vitamins

Important in the formation of teeth and bone and
in the regulation of many body processes,
calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body.
Good food sources for calcium include dairy products,
eggs, and green leafy vegetables.

An old hypothesis about the cause of MS
connected it to calcium intake.
Based on the studies of populations,
the incidence of MS appeared linked
to high intake of milk during childhood,
followed by a large or sudden reduction
in milk drinking during adolescence.
Very little evidence supports this hypothesis.

On the other hand, calcium is a critically important
supplement for those who are at risk for very
thin bones, or osteoporosis.
As indicated in the section on vitamin D,
people with MS may have risk factors for osteoporosis.

People between the ages of 19 and 50 should
consume 1,000 mg of calcium in the diet.
Daily doses greater than
2,500 milligrams should be avoided.
