What is Calcium?
Calcium is a soft grey alkaline earth metal, one of the most abundant in the Earth's crust. It is an essential chemical for most living organisms and the most common metal found in many animals. 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.
