Calcium deficiency will lead to symptoms such as thinning, brittle, rough and easily pitted nails, which should be relieved by supplementing calcium and vitamin D in time.
Calcium deficiency refers to the state of calcium deficiency in the human body, which is mainly caused by insufficient calcium intake and poor calcium absorption. Calcium deficiency will not only lead to the symptoms of thinning, brittle, rough and easy to dent nails, but also lead to muscle spasms, perioral numbness, bone pain, tetany, convulsions and other symptoms.
The first thing you need to do after a calcium deficiency is to identify the cause. If the calcium intake is insufficient, you can use calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate and other calcium supplements to supplement. If the calcium deficiency is caused by calcium malabsorption, you can use vitamin D3, osteotriol and other vitamin D preparations to promote the absorption of calcium, as well as daily sun exposure for more than 10 minutes.
If there are symptoms of calcium deficiency, patients are advised to consult a doctor in time and use medication under the doctor’s guidance, and at the same time adjust their diet by consuming more calcium-rich foods such as spinach, chard, milk, or vitamin D-rich foods such as pig liver, eel, and duck eggs.
