Calcium Counter and Tracker

Use this app to avoid calcium deficiency, which is common if you are on a vegan, milk-free or weightloss diet or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Deficiency results in osteoporosis with weakened fracture-prone bones and loose teeth, impaired muscle function with muscle cramps and spasms, dry skin, and brittle hair and nails. In addition, women under 55 years of age who have a higher calcium intake have been found to have a lower risk of bowel cancer. Set your target daily calcium intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of calcium content in foods and beverages (ie, mg/serving, %target/serving, mg/100g, mg/1oz, %target/100g or %target/1oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include calcium content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome. The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons.
