Calcium is predominately stored in the bones and teeth where it remains as a vital component of maintaining their structure and overall health.

Bones are continuously being remodelled with an abundance of calcium being required for the creation of new bone.  A deficiency in calcium can lead to excessive bone breakdown and loss which in turn can lead to an increased of related problems such as osteoporosis.

Calcium is found in some foods, especially dairy products but can also taken as a daily supplement to meet the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of approximately 1000mg for the average adult.

Products such as Vitabiotics Osteocare can provide the necessary Calcium, alongside other key minerals, to help maintain strong healthy bones and is readily available in tablet or chewable form from retailers such as http://www.vigour.co.uk.

For those engaging in athletic activity, the consumption of adequate Calcium is especially important and is a key mineral when sports supplements are being considered.
