Calcium
is important for optimal bone health throughout your life. Although diet is the
best way to get calcium, calcium supplements may be an option if your diet
falls short.
Calcium,
along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting
against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Your
body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and
nerves also need calcium to function properly. Some studies suggest that
calcium, along with vitaminD, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps
protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.
