4. Slowed Hair Growth
Another symptom that you might notice that may mean that you are not getting enough calcium is slowed hair growth. Hair is composed mostly of protein, but calcium is a really important part of making it grow. The problem is that this can be tricky to determine if you have been lacking the right amount of calcium throughout your entire life (and most people have had the same type of diet for many years or decades) so you might think that your hair grows at a normal rate.
That’s why it is important to test for levels of calcium or calculate how much you are getting from your diet and comparing it to the daily recommended amount that medical experts say that you should be getting. Slowed hair growth will apply mostly to the hair on your head, but it might apply to body hair as well.
