Calcium is an extremely important factor for health and longevity. It serves both a structural and physiological role in the entire organism. Bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding‚ and calcium is directly involved in this process. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential mediators of a wide variety of cellular activities‚ including the passing of information along neurons and between adjacent neurons. Hormonal regulation is also mediated by the proper functions of calcium and calcium ions
