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.
Calcium is a mineral that gives strength to your bones. Calcium is also necessary for many of your bodyâs functions, such as blood clotting and nerve and muscle function.During the teenage years (particularly ages 11-15), your bones are developing quickly and are storing calcium so that your skeleton will be strong later in life. Most basic multivitamin/mineral tablets have very little calcium in them. 2  Look for a calcium supplement that has vitamin D added. 3  Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. 4  Avoid âoyster shellâ or ânatural sourceâ calcium supplements.
