Which mineral is the most abundant in the human body and is primarily stored in the skeleton to maintain bone strength?
Show answer
Calcium
About 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it provides structural support. If you don't consume enough calcium, your body will actually 'steal' it from your bones to ensure your heart and muscles can function properly.
