Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, making up 1.5 to 2% of the total body weight. Approximately 1, 200 g of calcium are present in the body of an adult human; more than 99% of that amount is found in bones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible enough to withstand stress. More than 99 percent of the body’s calcium is contained in the bones and teeth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Calcium is absorbed through the gut with the help of Vitamin D. It then travels in the blood, with some eventually stored with another element, phosphorus, in bone crystals, which increase the strength of bone.
