Calcium ensures that hormones and enzymes are activated, thus aiding in weight reduction. Consequently, the influence of calcium on fat metabolism should not be underestimated. If little calcium is absorbed through food alone, calcium increasingly flows into fat cells and blood calcium levels drop. Therefore, the hormones calcitriol and parathyroid hormone are released in larger quantities to mobilize new calcium. As a result of high hormone concentrations, fat accumulation in fat cells is promoted and fat burning is inhibited. If sufficient calcium is supplied through food, the opposite effect occurs: calcitriol and parathyroid hormone are suppressed, the body stores less fat, and fat breakdown is enhanced. Calcium has other essential functions in the body. Nerves, muscles, and bones depend on calcium to maintain their function. In case of calcium deficiency, the body may begin to use bones as a calcium source, thereby weakening them.
