Calcium

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is often listed as a priority nutrient for body builders. Calcium not only contributes to the maintenance of normal health bones, but it also contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism.

Bodybuilders may have difficulty maintaining the needed 1:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio. First, many lifters try to avoid dairy products (containing calcium) because of common association of dairy with fat. Secondly, a typical bodybuilding diet is high in protein, meaning that it's also high in phosphorus (further throwing off the recommended ratio) and causes excess amounts of calcium to be excreted in urine. The structural stress from weight training requires a steady supply of calcium to maintain high bone density.

Female athletes should be especially careful of their dietary calcium intake, as low estrogen levels can contribute to decreased calcium absorption and increased calcium loss. Supplementation with calcium capsules may help preserve calcium levels and thus contribute to maintenance of healthy bones.
