Calcium Intake & Weight Loss

Calcium Intake and Reduction in Weight or Fat Mass.

Obesity is a growing epidemic with health consequences leading not only to reduced quality of life but also to increased medical costs. Growing evidence supports a relationship between increased calcium intakes and reductions in body weight specific to fat mass.

Since the first observations in rats >10 years ago, several recently published clinical studies support this calcium/weight-loss relationship as well. The impact of calcium intake on weight loss or prevention of weight gain has been demonstrated in a wide age range of Caucasian and African-Americans of both genders. Clinical trials have investigated the impact of calcium and dairy products on prevention of weight gain, weight loss or development of the insulin resistance syndrome.

The implications of these results are that calcium may play a substantial contributing role in reducing the incidence of obesity and prevalence of the insulin resistance syndrome.
