Why take this test?
Calcium is one of the most important minerals in your body. About 1% of the calcium in your body is in your blood. The rest is stored in your bones and teeth. Having the right amount of calcium in your blood is necessary for your nerves, muscles, and heart to work properly.
It also helps blood vessels move blood throughout your body and helps release hormones that affect many body functions.
