Calcium is an essential component of the skeleton and therefore indispensable for bone structure and bone density, as well as for our teeth.
The calcium content of the human body is about 1000 to 1300 grams in adults (up to 1.7% of body weight). About 99% of the body’s total calcium content is found in the bones and teeth.
Magnesium is important in the body for many enzymatic processes (e.g. the conversion of carbohydrates and fats), for the skeletal muscles, for the stability of the bones, and of course for the heart muscle.
The human organism contains about 26 mg of magnesium, the largest share of which – around 60% – is stored in the bones. Some 40% is found in the muscles and organs, and the blood holds only about 1% of the body’s total magnesium content.
