Calcium's complex impact on eczema
Correlation between dietary calcium intake and eczema in American adult population.
Significant observational study insights
We explored the connection between dietary calcium intake and the occurrence of eczema in adults using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2005-2006. Our aim was to see if there’s a relationship between how much calcium adults consume and the likelihood of developing eczema, a common skin condition.

In this observational study, we analyzed responses from 4,086 adults, of whom 266 reported having eczema. Our statistical analysis revealed an interesting pattern: we found that individuals in the third quartile of calcium intake had a significantly higher risk of eczema compared to those in the first quartile. Essentially, our results suggested that as dietary calcium intake increased, so did the prevalence of eczema—up to a certain point.

We identified an inverted U-shaped relationship between calcium intake and eczema prevalence. Specifically, an increase in calcium intake was associated with a higher occurrence of eczema until calcium levels reached a logarithmic value of 7.089. Thus, moderating calcium intake may help reduce the incidence of eczema.

These findings indicate that while calcium is essential for health, excessive consumption may not always be beneficial, particularly in relation to skin conditions like eczema. Further research is necessary to explore this relationship more deeply and determine the best levels of calcium intake for preventing eczema.

Reducing calcium for eczema relief
Hard water softening effect of a baby cleanser.
Addresses calcium's role in eczema
We explored the impact of a baby cleanser on the calcium content of hard water, which is known to be linked with eczema flare-ups. The study involved in vitro tests that measured free calcium levels in hard water both before and after the addition of the cleanser. We also conducted an in vivo exploratory study with three young women to assess how much calcium could be absorbed into the skin from hard water.

Our findings were quite significant. The baby cleanser effectively reduced free calcium levels in hard water from about 500 ppm to under 200 ppm at a 1% dilution. Remarkably, a 10% dilution nearly eliminated all free calcium. We noted that the anionic surfactant present in the cleanser was particularly influential in achieving this reduction.

Interestingly, in our exploratory in vivo study, we recorded approximately a 15% reduction in free calcium from hard water after just 10 minutes of exposure. This suggests that baby cleansers not only bind free calcium but might also play a role in managing the water hardness that could lead to skin issues like eczema.

Although we did not specifically measure the direct effects on eczema, reducing free calcium in bath water may be beneficial for creating a more suitable bathing environment for babies prone to skin sensitivities. Overall, these alterations in water chemistry could be an important consideration for parents dealing with eczema in their children.

Specialized diet aids eczema management
[Using of specialized food for the workers with skin occupational eczema of perlite production].
Calcium's isolated effect unclear
We conducted a study to evaluate how a specialized diet could help workers in perlite production who suffer from occupational eczema. The study included 165 workers with eczema and a control group of 152 healthy individuals. Our focus was on the effects of specific nutrients, including calcium, present in a dietary supplement that also contained pectin, vitamins A and E, and zinc.

Upon including this specialized food in the diet of the eczema patients, we observed some positive changes. There was a notable increase in levels of ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and carotenoids in their blood, suggesting an improvement in general nutritional status. Furthermore, a slight elevation in calcium levels was also documented, yet the specific impact of calcium on eczema symptoms remains unclear since the diet included various other nutrients as well.

Interestingly, the study found a reduction in the severity of eczema symptoms, such as itching and inflammation. However, we cannot pinpoint calcium’s unique contribution due to its presence along with other beneficial ingredients in the diet. Overall, our findings highlight the potential benefits of specialized nutrition in helping enhance the body's resilience against occupational skin diseases like eczema, but further investigation is needed to specifically assess calcium’s role.

Eczema improved dramatically
The price-quality-dosage ratio is excellent: it lasts a long time and has a reasonable dosage, combining two vitamins in one. My husband and I have been taking them for three months. For optimal absorption, we take chlorophyll in the morning, multivitamins, omega, vitamin D3, and calcium with magnesium in the evening since magnesium and iron don't mix. After the autumn, when eczema appeared post-pregnancy and covered my body, the dermatologist noted that only vitamin D was deficient. Once I started taking the vitamins, the body atopy vanished, and my eczema became localized between my fingers. My general condition improved. I feel magnesium aids my emotional well-being, while calcium helps with my teeth and hair loss.

Magnesium has positively affected my emotional state, while calcium helps prevent hair loss and dental issues.

Eczema localized well
We’ve been using these vitamins for three months now. For good absorption, I take chlorophyll in the morning, multivitamins, omega, vitamin D3, and calcium with magnesium in the evening. Last autumn, after giving birth, I developed eczema and atopy over my body. Tests showed vitamin D deficiency, which the dermatologist confirmed is common. Since starting the vitamins, the body atopy has cleared up and my eczema is now only between my fingers. Overall health has improved, and I believe magnesium aids my emotional stability, while calcium prevents dental and hair loss.

Ideally! This is an excellent supplement for those under regular stress and suffering from prolonged sleep deprivation. With three small children, this has been a godsend; consistent use provides a cumulative calming effect. It has significantly helped in the complex therapy for my eczema on my hands.
