This mineral is involved in blood coagulation system and helps the formation of blood clots. Also, it is involved in the transmission of nerve signals, muscle contraction and heartrate adjustment. Calcium helps the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestines. Calcium is needed for the insulin discharge in the body and to regulate the blood sugar.
