Calcium Supplements
Calcium is a mineral with many important jobs in the body. It helps maintain the health of blood vessels, muscles, and the nervous system, and it strengthens bones and teeth. In fact, 99 percent of the body's calcium is stored in bones and teeth. Strong bones are important, especially for growing kids and older people, who may be more vulnerable to fractures.
