Product Description
Calcium is the most abundant, essential mineral in the human body. Of the two to three pounds of calcium contained in the average body, 99% is located in the bones and teeth. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role.
Most dietary calcium comes from dairy products. Other good sources include sardines, canned salmon, green leafy vegetables, and tofu.
Without optimum levels of calcium, the human body may become prone to structural problems that can stem from long-term deficiency. Known for its influential role in both development and sound bone function, calcium citrate works to ensure that our structural foundation remains strong and healthy. NOW Calcium Citrate is a highly bioavailable form of this crucial mineral, and fortified with a perfectly balanced blend of zinc and magnesium to increase its overall effectiveness.
Calcium is especially important for athletes because they are more likely to lose calcium, as well as other minerals, through perspiration. In addition to being important for strong bones, calcium is required for muscle contraction. Without enough calcium you may experience muscle cramps.
Benefits and Uses
• plays an essential role in the formation of bones and teeth
• keep bones healthy and strong
• benefits the transmission of nerve messages
• supports the proper function of muscles including the heart
• promotes the activation of certain enzymes for digestion
• inhibits the development of osteoporosis
