Benefits of Calcium
Calcium! What would we do without you?
We need Calcium for strong bones, we know that, but that is not all Calcium does for our bodies! Calcium is a phenomenal nutrient that has numerous benefits for our bodies. Here are some of the other ways Calcium helps us:
- Skeletal Mineralisation
The most talked about benefit of Calcium! It deposits itself in our bones, making them denser and stronger!
- Cellular Proliferation
Calcium also plays a role in creating new cells in our bodies. An essential function that the body must carry out in order for us to sustain ourselves.
- Muscle Contraction
Calcium plays an important part in the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fibers. It also facilitates communication within the fibers of the muscles.
- Clotting
When blood clots, it produces fibrin, an insoluble protein that forms the framework of a blood clot. Without this framework, the blood will not be able to clot.
