Calcium (Ca) Colorimetric Assay Kit
The Calcium Test Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of calcium concentration. Cat.No: OttoBC133
Product Description
The adult human body contains about 1000 to 1500 g of Ca (depending on gender, race, size of the body) of which 99% is found in the bones in the form of hydroxyapatite. For this reason, Ca is probably the most studied nutrient in the area of bone health. Dietary Ca requirement is determined mostly by skeletal needs, and it exerts a threshold behavior.
Approximately 80–90% of bone mineral content is comprised of calcium and phosphorus. Other dietary components, such as protein, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, fluoride, vitamins D, A, C, and K are required for normal bone metabolism, while other ingested compounds not usually categorized as nutrients.
