Getting enough calcium is essential for human bone growth. Calcium will help increase bone mass so that a person can avoid osteoporosis.
However, there are many myths circulating about calcium. Reportedly excess calcium can cause kidney stones. Responding to this, Chairman of PB. PEROSI, DR. dr. Fiastuti Witjaksono, MKM, MS, Sp.GK-K said that people do not need to worry about excess calcium.
“Calcium needs vary if children need 700-1,000 per day. If you drink milk, 300 calcium can be sufficient. But if the milk is enriched again with calcium, it can reach 600, “said dr. Fiastuti, in the ‘Love Your Bones, Protect Your Future’ Talkshow recently.
He said, the thing that is most feared is food that has been fortified with calcium in it. If not controlled properly, this condition will make a person become excess calcium.
“If you eat from food sources, generally don’t overdo it. But many foods have added nutrition. There is also the use of supplements. The important thing is that the amount should not be more than 500 mg because it will cause blockage, ”he continued.
Furthermore, dr. Fiastuti also advised pregnant women to consume large amounts of calcium. Because calcium is very useful for bone growth in the fetus in the womb.
