required to maintain bone health in the human body and is best known for
its vital role in preventing osteoporosis. Calcium also helps to
maintain and build a strong skeletal structure. Moreover, it plays an
important role in cell-signaling pathways as a messenger throughout the
body and is necessary for transmission of nerve signals, secretion of
hormones, normal cell function, blood coagulation, muscle relaxation,
and muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency indications may include
transmission of nerve signals, secretion of hormones, normal cell
function, blood coagulation, muscle relaxation, and muscle contraction
any of these functions and visible in a number of ways.
