Besides needing calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, you also need it for blood clotting, cell membrane function, enzyme regulation, muscle contractions and nerve conduction. If you don’t consume enough calcium, your body will begin taking calcium from your bones that lead to serious problems and low-density bone mass. Always buy organic, Non-GMO.
