Calcium: Good for Bones & Teeth

Calcium is probably best known for supporting bone and tooth health. In fact, most of the calcium in our bodies is stored in the bones and teeth.

Getting adequate amount of calcium is important for supporting bone health throughout your lifetime, but especially during childhood, while the bones are still growing. It's also essential during the senior years, when bones start to break down faster than they can be rebuilt. Older bones become more brittle and easily fractured -- a condition called osteoporosis. *
