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.
So hopefully you have a better understanding as to how important calcium is, and realize some of the different functions of this mineral. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and a deficiency not only will affect bone health, but can lead to numerous other problems as well.9% of the calcium in the body is stored in the bones. This includes the teeth. The remaining calcium is in the bloodstream. While most people are aware of the benefits of calcium with regards to bone health, many are unfamiliar with the other roles calcium plays in the body.
