What is Calcium Chloride?
About Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride is a chemical compound made up of calcium and chlorine. It's commonly used for various purposes, such as de-icing roads, food preservation, and some medical treatments. Calcium, one of its components, is a vital mineral for the human body.
Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. However, calcium chloride itself is not typically used as a dietary supplement.
Instead, dietary calcium is obtained from foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods. Adequate calcium intake is crucial for overall health, especially for bone health and preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
