What is calcium and what does it do? Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. The body also needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between the brain and every body part.
The remaining 1% of calcium in the body is found in both extracellular fluid and within the cells, where it is involved in numerous metabolic roles. Calcium is critical to normal nerve conduction, muscle contraction, blood clotting, cell division, and electrical conduction in the heart.he body contains estimates between 750g and 1.3kg of calcium which makes calcium the most abundant mineral found in the body.
