About
Calcium is an essential mineral, meaning your body needs it to function properly, but does not produce it on its own. Calcium is responsible for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, proper blood clotting, and muscle contraction. It’s stored in bones and teeth for release into the bloodstream, as needed. Calcium is naturally occurring in many foods we eat, however, many Americans do not consume enough calcium through diet alone and require a supplement to meet the recommended daily value.
