Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet. A minor calcium deficit can affect bone and teeth formation, while over-retention can lead to kidney stones. It has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure. The remaining 1% is found throughout the body in blood, muscle, and the fluid between cells. It is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.
