Over 99% of calcium in the body is found within the c. bones and teeth. Calcium is a mineral present mostly in bones and teeth and helps them stay strong. Small amounts of calcium in bones are constantly being replaced with new calcium. However, if the body removes more calcium than it replaces, bones and teeth will become weaker.
