Frequently asked questions about Calcitonin (Salmon)
Q. Does Calcitonin (Salmon) build bone?
Calcitonin (Salmon) is a hormone that regulates the calcium level in the blood. This hormone helps the body to reverse the bone loss and sometimes also helps in bone formation. Due to this, the number of cells which damages bones becomes comparatively less, hence the bone damage is halted. It has been observed that using Calcitonin (Salmon) can initially increase bone formation by mild activation of the bone forming cells.
Q. What is the difference between calcitriol and Calcitonin (Salmon)?
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D and is produced in the kidneys. Calcitriol is also given as a supplement and helps in calcium metabolism in our body. The prime role of calcitriol is to increase the absorption of calcium from the gut, decrease its excretion from the kidneys, and increased deposition of calcium in bones, thereby helping in maintenance of normal bone health. Whereas, calcitonin is a hormone that regulates blood calcium levels by excreting the extra calcium from the blood through urine. Both the hormone helps in maintaining the calcium balance in our body.
