How to Stop Calcium Deposits

Calcium deposits are your body's way of telling you that you need to bone up on some calcium and that your current resources are depleted. They can also be related to vitamin D toxicity, magnesium deficiency or a vitamin K deficiency. They can occur in all parts of the body and start off soft but grow hard and painful. Common places for calcium deposits to appear are in the soft tissues like your fingernails and shoulders.

Instructions

Stop Calcium Deposits

• 1

  Eat a balanced diet. Your body needs nutrition from all vitamin and mineral sources to function properly. Try to eat whole foods (like spinach or kale) and make a switch to an organic diet plan.

• 2

  Take a calcium plus vitamin D supplement once a day to aid in the absorption of calcium. Adolescent young women will need a greater deal of calcium during their formative years (aged 12 to 25) so it is important to get the recommended dose of calcium to not only prevent deposits but prevent the onset of osteoporosis.

• 3

  Take a magnesium supplement once a day.

• 4

  Consume dairy products low in saturated fat like skim milk, fat-free yogurt and low-fat cheeses in moderation.

• 5

  Make an appointment with your doctor if calcium deposits refuse to go away or if they become overly painful. If calcium deposits regularly occur, see your doctor regularly.
