Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, with about 99 percent contributing to bone structure. The remaining 1 percent of calcium plays numerous roles, including normal heart rhythm, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, signaling and communication between cells, as well as hormone secretion. Having inadequate calcium or absorption problems in your body increases your risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which the breakdown of bones exceeds formation, causing weak and brittle bones.
Keep your bones healthy and support these functions by ingesting adequate amounts of calcium, about 1,000 mg daily for the average adult, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Calcium works side by side with vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin that aids in absorption.
