Calcium does more
than you think

Yes it keeps bones and teeth strong,
but what many might not know is that
calcium also helps maintain a healthy
nervous system, normal muscle
contractions, regular heartbeat and
normal blood clotting response.

absorption of calcium.
The body creates vitamin D
when you’re exposed to direct
sunlight, 20 minutes of sunshine
should do the trick.
