The relevance of calcium (Ca2+), an essential bone mineral, to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is well established. However, a good deal of evidence casts doubt on the validity of current RDAs (recommended daily allowance), i.e., 800-1000 mg/day. New guidelines consistently advocate higher daily intakes (up to 1500 mg/day), a goal that may be difficult to achieve for many patients. Environmental as well as individual behavioral factors may limit the consumption of dairy products, whereas calcium supplements require a high level of compliance and cause additional costs. Calcium-rich mineral waters may offer a promising alternative. A systematic literature search was performed (Medline, years 1966-1998) to identify experimental studies on the bioavailability of calcium-rich mineral waters. First, all publications on calcium absorption from mineral waters were identified, and, in a second step, studies comparing calcium absorption from mineral waters with that from dairy products. Four studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis based on published p values indicated calcium absorption from mineral waters was significantly higher (p = 0.03) than that from dairy products. Although only few studies with a relatively small number of subjects are available to date, the bioavailability of calcium from calcium-rich mineral waters thus seems to be at least comparable to, and possibly better than, that from dairy products. These results are in keeping with the assumption that calcium-rich mineral water is a useful calcium source to achieve new, higher recommended daily allowances of calcium.

SUMMARYThe Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food has been asked to evaluate calcium sulphate as a source of calcium for use in the manufacture of foods for particular nutritional uses.Calcium sulphate is an approved food additive (E 516). It was evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food in 1990 and an Acceptable Daily Intake not specified was allocated.The intake of calcium sulphate from the proposed use can be estimated to be from 531mg (375 mg of sulphate and 156 mg of calcium) to 1062 mg (750 mg of sulphate and 312 mg of calcium) per person per day. This intake is well below the tolerable upper intake level of 2500 mg/person/day for calcium established for adults by the SCF in 2003. The Panel does not anticipate that the additional intake of sulphate from the use of calcium sulphate in waters would result in any adverse effects.In human studies the bioavailability of calcium from calcium sulphate in waters is comparable to that from milk and the sulphate anion does not affect the urinary excretion of calcium.The Panel concluded that calcium sulphate as a source of calcium for use in foods for particular nutritional uses is not of concern from the safety point of view.
