the multiple factors expressed during bone regeneration [59-61]. Such materials have been investigated widely in literature[62], [63] to exhibit specific responses. Calcium phosphate showed osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties in the form of sintered ceramics [64-67], cements [68, 69], and coatings [70, 71]. Besides calcium phosphate

bone and the loss of joints’ flexibility. Dealing with osteoarthritis is a very difficult process because it involves a lot of ways to reduce its severity. The three major ways involved in dealing with osteoarthritis are medication, getting enough calcium, frequent exercising, and specific prevention. The first way is to take medications that are helpful by inhibiting causing-osteoarthritis cells such as Binosto, Actonel, and Fosamax, which are taken once a week. These medications should be taken

the softening and weakening of a child’s bones, primarily caused by lack of vitamin D and or lack of calcium or phosphate. According to The Mayo Clinic, vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. A deficiency of vitamin D makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorus levels in bones, which can cause rickets. Adding vitamin D or calcium to the diet will generally correct the bone problems associated with rickets. Rickets should not be

hormones assist calcium in replacing and renewing old bone cells. Elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism) causes calcium to leech from the bones into surrounding cells, where it is eliminated by the urine. This contributes to a decrease in bone density, which may cause osteoporosis. Insufficient calcium supply/intake: Each day, we lose calcium through our skin, sweat, urine and faeces, however, the body cannot produce calcium to replace it. A lack of calcium in bone impedes the

that all vital minerals, such as iron and calcium are being consumed at required amounts is an important activity as with increased age, the risk of diseases, both nutrition and non-nutrition related, increase progressively (Luliano, 2014). Calcium is one of the most significant nutrients required by all human beings and the National Institutes of Health (2015) recommends that men and women, over the age of 50 need about 1000-1200mg of calcium per day. Calcium deficiency, either due to poor diet or

Calcium and Osteoporosis Calcium is the most plentiful mineral found in the human body. The teeth and bones contain the most calcium. Nerve cells, body tissues, blood, and other body fluids contain the rest of the calcium. Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the human body. It helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. A proper level of calcium in the body over a lifetime can help prevent osteoporosis. Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” If viewed under a microscope, healthy bone

Osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes the bones to become delicate and breakable due to a loss of tissue, usually caused by hormonal changes and even a deficiency of calcium, which includes vitamin D. If upon a minor fall, or lifting an object the wrong way you may experience a broken bone, that could be a sign of osteoporosis. Although it is true that while people age, they lose bone density, it is not true that everyone will for sure get Osteoporosis. There is no known cure yet for Osteoporosis

The minerals worthy of attention in animal nutrition include calcium, sodium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, and cobalt. Minerals are required by animals in substantially less amounts than other nutrients. Minerals perform specific functions in the body and are added to feedstuff in scientifically predetermined quantities. Minerals help to ensure that animals have appropriate weight gain and good reproductive characteristics. For livestock feed, animals acquire some minerals

become fragile, weak, and brittle, this means that the bones are more likely to fracture. Osteoporosis particularly affects women after menopause and in their later years. However, some men may also be affected. Activity and a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can help prevent osteoporosis. It affects one of every two women and one out of every five men, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Causes: Osteoporosis is caused by bones losing their density. This is because
