Calcium
Calcium is a key structural element within the human body, and 99% of total calcium within the body is found in bones and teeth. Calcium deficiency is associated with osteoporosis, strokes and insulin resistance.
WHO Limit:
Excessive calcium in drinking-water is associated with the hardness and is not of health concern at levels normally observed. However, the taste threshold for the calcium ion is between 100-300mg/l
Symptoms of Calcium Contamination:
There is little evidence of negative health effects associated with the consumption of calcium with food; however, consumption of supplements in excess of 2500mg/day, when not ingested with food can increase the risk of developing kidney stones.
