  • Calcium: Help form bones and teeth, assist in the movement of muscles, help with nerve messaging between the brain and body systems, help blood flow as vessels relax and constrict and release hormones and enzymes that support body functions
  • Phosphorus: It influences bone growth, apparently by decreasing the absorption of intercellular calcified cartilage matrix by osteoclasts in the metaphyseal region of growing bones, which has the long-term effect of slowing down growth
  • Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium essential for the normal development and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones. It also helps maintain proper blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, and also prevents thinning of bones
