Business News Agency April 11: Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the human body. It plays a very important physiological role in the human body. 99% of the body's calcium is concentrated in bones and teeth, while the other 1% of calcium is found in blood, muscle, and cell fluids. Calcium can maintain the normal contraction of the blood vessels and promote the synthesis of certain hormones and enzymes, so that the neurotransmitters maintain normal release.
Since the human body cannot synthesize calcium, the body needs calcium and other minerals to be ingested through food. The four best calcium-containing foods recognized by the international nutrition community are milk, cheese, yogurt and green vegetables. However, after people enter old age, the ability to take calcium through food will weaken. As the amount of estrogen secretion in the body decreases sharply, older women are more likely to suffer from calcium deficiency and osteoporosis than elderly men. Therefore, supplemental calcium is very important for the elderly. Children who are in the growth stage must also be supplemented with calcium, otherwise they will cause rickets (hunchback and chicken breasts) and other symptoms.
According to a report from the US Consultancy, the top three health foods in the US market in 2010 were various calcium supplements, with annual sales of USD 1 billion; and glucosamine, a health food that can strengthen bones and joints. ), annual sales of about 800 million US dollars; fish oil preparations, annual sales of 450 million US dollars. This shows that the top two are calcium supplements and strong bone products. Due to the hot sales of calcium supplement products in the international market, in addition to traditional calcium supplements such as calcium carbonate and VD, a variety of new calcium supplements made from new materials have also been developed. Here we will briefly introduce new calcium raw materials and new products from abroad.
New raw materials
As early as the early 1990s, the U.S. and Japanese manufacturers have developed new calcium raw materials. One is the diatomite-based sedimentary mineral, dolomite, as raw material, and micronized calcium diatoms. The second is the “coral calcium†from the Pacific coral reef. The main component of the coral reef is calcium carbonate. However, research conducted by Japanese researchers confirms that coral calcium is more easily absorbed by the body after micronization. Third, by-products of marine fishery processing, such as the fish bone of tuna, are processed into micro-powdered fish-bone powder. The analysis shows that fish-bone meal is not only It is rich in calcium and contains essential trace elements such as phosphorus. Fourth, it is a micro-powder processed from shellfish shells. For example, Japan has made fine oyster shells produced in the coastal areas of the country micronized to become new calcium raw materials. Oyster shell not only contains calcium, but also contains many important trace elements such as germanium. The oyster shell powder has become the best-selling product in the international calcium supplement food market.
New product
Seaweed Calcium A California-based company developed a calcium-enriched capsule of all plant origin. This product uses an algae plant grown in the sea area near South America as a raw material, and extracts calcium and other minerals from it. It is called AlgaeCal. It is said that VD3, VK2, magnesium, and VC are also added to this product, which are beneficial to human body. Frequent use of calcium algae can prevent colon cancer and other cancer diseases.
Okinawa Coral Calcium is a calcium-refining product made by micro-milling coral reefs in the Okinawa Islands where no industrial pollution occurs near the Okinawa archipelago. Over the past 10 years, Japanese researchers have published a large number of clinical studies on the health effects of calcium in Okinawa corals. According to reports in the Japanese medical literature, elderly people take orally 1000 mg of coral calcium capsules daily for 3 consecutive years without any side effects, and osteoporosis symptoms are significantly improved. Coral calcium has become one of the best-selling calcium products in the Western market.
Ca Calcium Citrate Calcium Citrate is one of the citrates of calcium and is also a bulk drug product that is contained in the United States Pharmacopoeia and the European Pharmacopoeia. Currently, calcium citrate is widely used in health foods. Recent studies have shown that the bioavailability of calcium citrate in the human body is much higher than that of commercially available calcium carbonate calcium supplement products. What's more, the production cost of calcium citrate is much lower than that of calcium-based preparations such as calcium and coral calcium from algae. In recent years, foreign companies have successively developed and marketed a variety of new calcium products such as vitamin C+calcium citrate; calcium citrate+calcium citrate; vitamin D3+calcium citrate and so on.
Aquamin United Kingdom Health Products Co., Ltd. uses a marine algae plant, Haliodinium spp., which grows in the sea off the coast of Northern Ireland, to extract and process Aquamin, a new type of marine calcium supplement food. The trial confirmed that Aquamin, a woman who is over 50 years of age and continuously takes 3 months of time, has an increase in calcium in his bones by 30% to 40%. Therefore, the new calcium supplement food from the seaweed algae from Northern Ireland is expected to become the best-selling product in the international market.
In summary, calcium supplement food has become the number one best-selling product in the international health food market. China has entered an aging society. However, due to a long period of insufficient propaganda in science education in the country, many elderly people do not know that their bodies are deficient in calcium. Therefore, strengthening national education for science education can promote the healthy development of calcium supplement health food industry.
