Smaller - Easier to swallow - Smaller than previous Nature Made tablets. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and more than 99% of the body's calcium is found in our bones. Calcium is also necessary for the contraction of muscles, the release of neurotransmitters, regulation of heart beat, and the clotting of blood. The main sources of Vitamin D are food and sunlight. For those who do not get any sunlight (particularly the elderly in nursing homes), they may be at a higher risk of Vitamin D deficiency and Vitamin D supplementation is recommended. However, Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and should be taken in recommended amounts. Vitamin D's primary role in the body is stimulating the absorption of calcium and is necessary for bone development.
