Calcium

Calcium is by far the most abundant mineral in the human body and is especially concentrated in the bones and teeth. Calcium is one of the first elements depleted by insufficient dietary nutrients, it is one of the most essential of the major biochemical elements present in the body. It supports bones, teeth, nails, nerves, muscles, and tissues. It supports healthy body alkalinity for good immune system support. Calcium is needed in every organ of the body. It promotes repair processes and aids normal body functions. Calcium regulates the heartbeat, controls acid/alkaline (pH) balance, is necessary for the clotting of blood and the function of neurotransmitters, contributes to muscle mass and strength, and plays a vital role in the creation of some hormones.
