Calcium Reference Guide

Why does my body need Calcium?

Calcium is an essential element in building healthy bones and teeth as well as the clotting of blood, the transmission of nerve impulses, regulation of heartbeat, and cell balance. Calcium is a naturally occurring element in the human body, however the body ceases producing calcium by the age of thirty.  By this time, the body actually begins a process of removing calcium ultimately causing Osteoporosis with results in weakened bones.

Therefore, it is imperative to provide your body with the calcium it needs, particularly later in life. Women are said to be more susceptible to Osteoporosis and need to consider supplementing their calcium intake by the age of thirty.
