What Are Interesting Facts About Calcium?

Answer Question

5 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Calcium is an incredible mineral which we need for strong bones.  The only natural sources of calcium magnesium, you need the magnesium in order to absorb calcium, are found in hard water, chocolate and maple syrop.  Without calcium, you can develop ostioperosis, bones becoming frail, so very important.  There is calcium in milk, but we only absorb about 10% without magnesium.  That is why dolomite, which comes from limestone and is often released in water, causing water to be hard is a good supplement.  All it is is ground limestone.  Mind you, hard water can cause gall stones, so a substitute is better than drinking hard water.
