Determination of Concentrations of Magnesium and Calcium in Human Blood Serum Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Their Relation with Human Behavior and Common Disorders

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

This study found that calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D supplementation altered hair calcium and magnesium content in perimenopausal women, suggesting an early indicator of metabolic changes linked to skeletal mineralization.

In this study, researchers assessed magnesium intake in women aged 40 to 65 across urban Bangalore, finding it below the Recommended Dietary Allowance and noting deficiencies associated with symptoms like hair loss and muscle cramps. Biochemical assessment was recommended to confirm these findings.

In this study, perimenopausal women with initially high hair concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and silicon experienced a decrease in these elements after intermittent dietary supplementation with calcium, magnesium, silicon, and vitamin D.
