Vitamin D deficiency: the main reason for decreasing calcium levels during menopause
Lack of Vitamin D triggers a decline in the body’s absorption of calcium, principally in our bones with the resulting risk of bone fractures, while skin is also impacted. Calcium is a small ion and an indispensable messenger for skin cellular capacity, playing a role in correct signaling between skin cells to keep them functioning in harmony. Calcium deficiency effects on skin include a modification in skin pH levels which increase from 5 to 6 as women age. With this change, skin can becomes more sensitive, and women are more likely to develop rashes and easily irritated skin. If you have an existing skin condition, such as eczema or rosacea, this could worsen.
Half of postmenopausal women take calcium supplements. But vitamin D is also a must-take so: check your levels and get yourself some nice drops of vitamin D supplements!
The pH increase due to age is another development within the skin’s superficial layer, which further disrupts skin barrier function, making your skin sensitive, fragile, more susceptible to allergies, to infections and less able to heal.
Key facts to remember about calcium and menopause:
- What happens to calcium levels when you turn 50 is a consequence of Vitamin D deficiency that prevents calcium from being properly absorbed by your body.
- The lack of vitamin D and calcium deficiency will surely provoke other dysfunctions, so it’s better to start taking Vitamin D and Calcium supplements as soon as possible.
