Calcium is required to build strong bones and teeth. Around 99% of calcium is held in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1% circulates in the bloodstream, where it performs a variety of important functions such as:

• Helping to contract muscles and regulating the contraction of the heart.
• Playing a role in the transmission of nerve impulses and blood clotting.
• Helping to stimulate contractions of the uterus during childbirth and milk production.
• Regulating the secretion of various hormones and aiding in the functions of various enzymes in the body.
• Helping to keep weight off.

A calcium deficiency can lead to:
