Benefits of Calcium
Calcium, together with vitamin D, ensures strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D plays an important role in the calcium absorption in bone tissue. In addition, it helps in the proper functioning of the nerves and muscles. The older people get, the less well they can absorb calcium from their diet. The consequence of this is that bones start to decalcifycausing more frequent fractures. In addition, older people often have a vitamin D deficiency, which further increases the risk of osteoporosis. For these reasons, calcium has been added to the Immunity Blend.
