Detailed explanation-1: -The mineral calcium helps your muscles, nerves, and cells work normally. Your body also needs calcium (as well as phosphorus) to make healthy bones. Bones are the main storage site of calcium in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Magnesium. Why it’s important: Magnesium helps your body absorb and retain calcium to help build and strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis. Since your body is not good at storing magnesium, it is vital to make sure you get enough of it in your diet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The major minerals found in bone are calcium and phosphorus in the form of an insoluble salt called hydroxyapatite [chemical formula: (Ca)10(PO4)6(OH)2]. Hydroxyapatite crystals lie adjacent and bound to the organic protein matrix.
