Well Scoliosis is a curving of the spine. These curves are often S- or C-shaped. when I was in form 3, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and doctor advise me to take calcium supplement to prevent osteoporosis osteoporosis and its consequences – weak, brittle bones, loss of bone integrity and stooped posture during older age.


The calcium supplement that I’m using is BLACKMORES BIO CALCIUM!!! The supplement include calcium( from calcium carbonate) and vitamin D. it’s a  white, flat, bevelled edge tablet with a peppermint flavour and the tablet is so damn big and it’s so difficult for me to consume it!! And I really hate the tablet!!

                                                                                                    look...its so BIG!!

This is the benefits of Calcium for a Healthy Spine
In addition to playing an important role in the prevention of osteoporosis (porous bones), which can lead to fractures of the vertebrae, calcium helps to relax the muscles in your back and prevents muscle spasms.

Every cell in your body needs calcium. If you don't consume enough calcium, your body will withdraw it from your bones to keep the amount in your blood stream constant.

Calcium is a major component of bones. Adequate calcium intake is essential in preventing osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones gradually become porous and susceptible to fractures. The spine, hips and wrists are most affected by osteoporosis.

Vitamin D is required for the utilization of calcium. Scoliosis directly involves the development of the spine and bones. Vitamin D works with calcium in your body to help build and maintain strong bones. It can also regulate the immune system and cells, which often break down due to scoliosis.

Besides the benefits of calcium in preventing ostereoporosis, there are also some side effects of taking calcium supplement!

Loss of Appetite

• Calcium supplements can make you less hungry than usual. With a calcium deficiency, your body will crave foods with the mineral, making you eat more. Once your body is getting the appropriate amount of calcium, it will no longer try to compensate for the loss, decreasing your appetite and possibly slimming and its very very true cause I’m losing most of the time I won have the appetite to eat and I am losing my weigt to the max and luk so thin!!!

Increased Urination

• Some people experience increased urination when taking calcium supplements and tis is also true…I do visit the washrum very often!!

Dry Mouth

• Large amounts of calcium can cause dry mouth in some patients. Many patients will also experience increased thirst and I experience it too and I use vaselin as moisturiser for my dry lips…
