Calcium is a vitally important mineral or growing children. It is required for them as their bodily systems develop. A mineral deficiency can lead to very harmful consequences.

Calcium is probably the most abundant mineral in the body. It is used to build strong teeth and bones and is vitally important for the transmission of nerve impulses, the release of hormones and proper muscle contraction. For adolescents, it is important to get enough calcium for many reasons. One is that it can reduce the risk of osteoporosis in the future. Another reason is that if there is a calcium deficiency in the blood, the body will acquire its calcium from the bones in order to help other cells function properly. This results in weaker bones.

Since kids are often picky eaters and do not include high-calcium foods, like vegetables and milk, it is necessary to supplement with a high-quality Calcium Citrate supplement. The citrate form of calcium is widely known to be the best and most absorbable form. Vitabase Kid's Calcium offers this vital and important nutrient in a great-tasting, orange-flavored, chewable tablet.
