Calcium carbonate, also known as calcite, is one of the most commonly found minerals in the Earth's crust. It is found in a variety of geological environments, which certainly is a primary reason for its geological prominence. Calcium carbonate is also a vitally important mineral to the environment. Many sea organisms, such as corals and algae, use calcite to form their shells, removing harmful carbon dioxides from the oceans at the same time.
In addition, calcium carbonate has health benefits as well. Calcium carbonate is a natural antacid. It can be taken to neutralize stomach acids, which cause heartburn and upset stomachs. However, unlike its chemically engineered compadres, calcium carbonate has the added benefit of providing calcium.
Vitamin D increases calcium and Phosphorus absorption. The main way the body gets Vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight. As a result, deficiencies are more common in winter or in areas where there is little sunlight. Other causes for deficiency include vegan diets, malabsorption conditions, liver disease, kidney disease, and alcoholism. Vitamin D, when used with calcium, provides some relief for migraines. Taken in a dose of 400 IU daily, it slows the development of osteoarthritis in the knee. Calcium supplements are helpful both as a preventive measure and in the treatment of osteoporosis.
