Calcium and Vitamin D3
Calcium is a mineral that has a major role in many bodily functions. The majority of the calcium in the human body is found in the bones and teeth. The functions of calcium include:
- Building bone
- Keeping bones healthy
- Aids in blood clotting
- Aids in muscle contraction
Vitamin D3 is a supplement that is taken when an adequate amount of vitamin D is not obtained from the diet or from sunshine. This means that vitamin D3 will perform the same functions as vitamin D. It will cause an uptake of calcium and phosphorous, which will, in turn, lead to the production of bones and maintenance of bone health.
