A good source of calciumOur body’s favorite mineral: Calcium

Calcium is the most reoccurring mineral in the body.  Why?  Human bones hold over 99% of calcium in the body.  All this calcium is essential in teeth and bone structure support.  Blood, intercellular fluid and muscle contain the rest of the body’s calcium.  On a biochemical level, calcium is vital in directing signals to the nervous system, blood vessel and muscle contraction along with hormone and enzyme secretions.
