Calcium has also been shown to modulate the in flammatory response and enhance weight loss. A recent study found that increasing calcium intake of food, together with normal protein intake, increased fecal fat and energy excretion of about 350 calories per day.

This research may help explain why high-calcium diet produces weight loss, and this shows that the interaction with dietary protein level may be important.

Several studies have shown that calcium plays an important role in weight regulation and especially on fat metabolism (with possible effects on lipolysis, fat oxidation, lipogenesis, energy expenditure and appetite suppression) and thus is a useful supplement for those who want to lose weight and body fat.
