Chinese scientists have developed a new calcium- containing drug that has been analyzed and found to be the best to date.
For six years, the Chinese corporation "Tiens" was engaged in the development and creation of a new drug that contains a fairly large amount of calcium (the daily norm required by an adult). After a detailed study, the drug created by the Chinese was recognized as the best of those known to medicine at the moment.
Calcium is a vital macroelement found in the body of humans, animals, and plants. In the human body, calcium is found in the skeleton (bone tissue) and in dental tissue. Calcium takes part in important processes that occur in a living organism. For example, the process of blood clotting depends on the presence of calcium in the body. Also, the following processes in the human body are controlled with the help of calcium: secretion of hormones, secretion of neurotransmitters, muscle contraction.
Medicine has proven that the daily requirement for calcium is about 1000-1300 milligrams and depends on age (in adolescence, a person's skeleton develops and requires more calcium to strengthen it than in childhood or adulthood). According to researchers from the United States, only 10% of the planet's inhabitants receive the necessary dose of this important macronutrient daily.
Calcium is essential for health and well-being, each of us should receive the required amount of the element with food every day. It is noteworthy that calcium contained in plant products cannot have the effect that calcium of animal origin has. Dairy and fermented milk products, products containing cartilage and bones are the best sources of calcium of animal origin. Doctors insist that the daily diet of every adult should contain at least 1000 milligrams of calcium (contained, for example, in 800 ml of milk with 1.5% fat content). Homemade fatty cottage cheese, rich broth made from bones, jellied meat or aspic are well-known and easy-to-eat dishes that will help provide the daily calcium intake in the body.
Back in the eighties of the last century, the World Health Organization announced its readiness to announce a competition for the best drug containing a sufficient amount of calcium. At that time, the drugs known to pharmacists were not absorbed by the body, so they did not have the desired effect (one tablet contained about 1000 milligrams of calcium, of which the body absorbed only 30-35%).
