Calcium
An essential mineral your body needs for bones, teeth, muscles and nerves.
Calcium is a nutrient found naturally in food and added to some drinks and supplements to strengthen bones and support muscle and nerve function. It's safe and beneficial at normal dietary levels; problems only occur with very high supplement intakes over long periods.

Why it matters
Calcium is a mineral your body uses to build bones and teeth, help muscles contract, let nerves send signals, and help blood clot. Most of the calcium in your body sits in your skeleton. You get it from dairy, leafy greens, fortified foods and drinks, and supplements. In a beverage, it's usually added to boost nutritional value (like fortified plant milks or juices) or as a firming/stabilizing mineral. Almost everyone benefits from adequate calcium; it's not something to avoid.
