What are symptoms of calcium deficiency?
If you do not eat enough calcium, or if your body does not absorb enough calcium, you will have many different problems. One of the first signs of calcium deficiency is muscle cramping, muscle irritation, eye twitching and more. Calcium deficiency can also contribute to muscle headaches, jaw pain, and TMJ headaches. With long term calcium deficiency, your bones become brittle and can break easily. This is the cause of osteoporosis. Since strong bones are needed to support teeth, a deficiency of calcium can result in early periodontal disease and tooth loss.
