Calcium is present in all diary products (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage
cheese etc) ,leafy vegetables, eggs and meat. The calcium which the
body gets through daily intake of food is not sufficient to meet the
daily requirements of the body. When we do not take enough calcium our
bodies use up the calcium present in the bones hence making the body
bones week and open to all kinds of bone diseases.
So it is required we take a calcium supplement designed to meet our
calcium requirements according to the dosage mentioned.
