| Calcium is a well known nutrient and most of us are aware that it helps our bodies create strong and healthy bones, but let's delve a little deeper.
Why does our body need Calcium?
Calcium is an important mineral that we need to create strong dense bones. About 99% of the total calcium in our bodies can be found in the bones and teeth. The remaining amount is used in the transportation of proteins around the body at a cellular level and for muscular contractions. To help your body absorb calcium it is important that you consume suitable levels of Vitamin D.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/VlUmPadAFn0" height="1" width="1"/ |
