calcium
Dairy's key nutrient
Calcium is a chemical element, a soft silver-white metal that is the fifth most abundant element in Earth's crust.
The body requires calcium for bones, teeth, and nerve function: The doctor recommended calcium supplements.
Calcium appears in compounds like calcium carbonate (chalk, limestone) and calcium chloride (road salt).
Symbol: Ca.
