What is calcium?

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.

The average-size adult body contains two to three pounds of calcium.

The bones and teeth contain 99% of the body's calcium, while the remaining 1% is in the blood and other body fluids, and within cells.


Current research on calcium?

Cancer: A high-calcium diet might help prevent colon cancer.

High Blood Pressure: Optimal calcium intake might lower high blood pressure.

Osteoporosis: Calcium deficiency is the greatest dietary cause of osteoporosis. Taking the recommended amounts of calcium during childhood and teen years helps lower the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life.
