Abstract
Calcium is one of the most vital elements of our body. It is mainly present as compound in the mineralized tissues and acts as reservoir and for maintenance. Calcium in its ionic form is also available in the extracellular compartments to orchestrate and sustain life activities. Calcium though regulated at multiple levels, requires a very fine maintenance near its optimal blood concentration.
