Description
Calcium is a mineral that is an essential part of bones and teeth. The heart, nerves, and blood-clotting systems also need calcium to work. The bones and teeth contain over 99% of the calcium in the human body. Calcium is also found in the blood, muscles, and other tissue. Calcium in the bones can be used as a reserve that can be released into the body as needed. The concentration of calcium in the body tends to decline as we age because it is released from the body through sweat, skin cells, and waste. In addition, as women age, absorption of calcium tends to decline due to reduced estrogen levels. Calcium absorption can vary depending on race, gender, and age.
Proposed Benefits
Our bodies use calcium in our teeth and bones, and adequate quantities are required to maintain bone and teeth strength. It is needed especially in elders as well as those who are immunocompromised as osteoporosis occurs in those who have deficiencies of these vitamins. 44.1% of Americans do not meet the recommended daily requirement of Calcium
