Rickets is a bone disorder caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate.

In rats, experimental calcium deficiency in the presence of adequate vitamin D caused a more than four-fold elevation of calcitriol and a more than 60 percent drop in 25 (OH) D from just under 40 ng / mL to about 15 ng / mL (4)(click to enlarge):

These findings indicate that, as expected, dietary calcium deficiency causes our parathyroid glands to make more parathyroid hormone, thus increasing the conversion of 25 (OH) D to the more active calcitriol.

there is a general misconception that osteoporosis is caused by a deficiency of dietary calcium and that this deficiency can be remedied by taking a basic calcium supplement.

The Opotowski team, which found that low vitamin A levels had as great an effect lowering BMD as did high vitamin A levels, suggested that vitamin A deficiency may contribute to increased fracture risk by allowing bone matrix to grow faster than it can be mineralized.12 Indeed, although the net effect of vitamin A is to stimulate osteoclasts and slow the growth of osteoblasts, vitamin A also causes osteoblasts to secrete a variety of enzymes and other proteins that are important to bone mineralization, including osteocalcin, which is a protein that plays a direct role in attracting and binding calcium within the bone matrix.6 By slowing the growth of the matrix but increasing the rate at which it is mineralized, adequate vitamin A helps to ensure sufficient bone density.

Hi Teresa, that's the calcium paradox, which is actually caused by calcium deficiency and the secretion of parathyroid hormone to raise blood calcium levels.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by a wide range of factors including low gastric acidity (common in older people,) use of acid blockers or excessive laxative use, lack of intrinsic factor, poor absorption from the intestines, lack of Calcium, heavy metal toxicity, or excessive Vitamin B12 degradation.

Magnesium deficiency can be caused by a number of things, including — but not limited to — lack of adequate dietary magnesium, emotional stress, some drugs (diuretics, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, insulin, cortisone), heavy exercise, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders and excessive calcium in the diet.

I hate to break it to you but those white marks on nails are not caused by an excess of calcium or a deficiency of zinc but most likely from a minor injury while the nail is growing!

Boron deficiency causes the parathyroids to become overactive, releasing too much parathyroid hormone which raises the blood level of calcium by releasing calcium from bones and teeth.

Phytic acid can block absorption of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc which can cause mineral deficiencies and bone loss.

Boron deficiency causes greatly increased amounts of calcium and magnesium to be lost with the urine.

The cause of this isn't always clear, but could be genetic or the result of trauma, calcium deficiency, or a mycobacterial infection.
