Calcium Supplement: This is the largest amount of mineral found in the human body, where the majority ( almost 100% ) is stored in our bones and teeth.
Calciums' function in the human body is vast.
Below are some of it's major function for balanced health:
It is the substance that gives structure to our bones and teeth
It provides the ability for blood vessels and muscles to expand and contract ( giving us circulation and motion)
It assist in the carrying of hormones and enzymes throughout the body.
It is necessary for the transmission of sending messages through our intricate nervous system
When we are young and growing, calcium and it processing is abundant. As we age, we don't absorb calcium in the same quick way, with more breakdown, in relation to building of the bone, as when we age. Then is when we suffer bone loss faster than we can replace it, leaving our bones weak and porous and leading to osteoporosis. Fractures then can happen as easiy as turning the wrong way, or tripping with a minor fall.
Calcium tablets with Vitamin D are ideal as they are more easily absorbed, as all systems are now compromised due to aging.
