More Information
Calcium is required to build and maintain strong bones. 99% of the body's calcium is in the bones and teeth. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Calcium along with Vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.
