Calcium is a mineral.

Of the approximately 1.2kg (300 mmol) calcium (Ca) in the human body, about 99 per cent is in the bones and teeth where its primary role is structural. One per cent is in the tissues and fluids, where it is essential for cellular structure and inter-and intracellular metabolic function and signal transmission.
