About Calcium . . .
Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a
central role in our life, yet most Americans do not get adequate calcium on a
daily basis. Calcium helps to build stronger, denser bones early in life and
helps maintain healthy bones later in life reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Beyond building and maintaining healthy bones, calcium plays a significant role
in our teeth, blood, nerves, muscles and other bodily functions.
Every day, our bodies lose calcium through skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and
stool. Our bodies cannot produce calcium on its own. That is why it is
important to try to get enough calcium through the foods we eat. When our diet
does not have enough calcium for our body's needs, calcium is taken away from
our bones which over time can cause them to become fragile and more likely to
break.

chance of developing kidney stones in some people, however, according to most
experts; the safe upper limit for total daily calcium intake from all sources
is 2,000 - 2,500 mg.
While many people ask which calcium
supplement they should take; the best supplement is the one that meets a
person's needs based on tolerance, convenience, cost and availability.
