Bones are dynamic in the sense that they are constantly being broken down and built back up. When blood calcium levels are low, cells called osteoclasts break down bone matrix and release the calcium into the blood. When blood calcium levels are high, cells called osteoblasts take calcium out of the blood and use it the built bone matrix.

Why is calcium so important for your body. At what age does your body begin to lose bone density?
Calcium is the most abundant, essential dietary mineral and most important bone-building block in our human body. It is mainly found in the skeleton, which stores 99% of the calcium and provides structural support to the body. About 20% of the world's population suffers from calcium deficiency, which in turn can lead to osteoporosis. Even in childhood and adolescence during the growth phase, a calcium-rich diet is important for bone formation. Therefore, at every stage of life, healthy nutrition, as well as physical activity that helps promote bone density, are two crucial factors of a healthy lifestyle. Calcium is found primarily in dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and numerous fruits, and often nuts.
