[/caption]Do you recall reading about the need for Calcium in our body system on this blog site?
Yes we were all informed and excited about the mineral requirements for good health in growing families and even adults in general.
If you remember, we mentioned some certain facts and let’s state them again…
Calcium is most abundant mineral in the body with over 99% stored in the bones and teeth, and the remaining 1% in the body’s tissues and intercellular fluids.
The skeleton of a young adult male contains about 1.2kg of this body nutrient - calcium
It is also important for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, the stimulation of hormone secretion and the activation of enzyme reaction.
Typically in children there is more deposition to build bone. In adults deposition roughly equals absorption to maintain bone strength.
In response to the daily need for calcium, the foremost provider of nutritional value for growing families, Promasidor Nigeria Limited has recently re-launched their premium milk brand Loya milk for the benefit all.
