Calcium is a mineral that is required for developing and maintaining strong, healthy bones and teeth, plus many crucial bodily functions including proper muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Most calcium in the body is stored within bones and teeth, where it adds strength and density to those structures. If there is not enough calcium available in the blood for its other vital functions, the body removes calcium from storage in bones. Over time, this can lead to a loss of strength in the bone tissue and increases the risk of osteoporosis. Daily calcium requirements change depending upon our gender, age, diet, post menopause and during pregnancy and lactation. Where calcium intake is inadequate to meet daily requirements, supplementation may be warranted.
