Calicium

Were you looking for information about Calcium? Calicium is a common misspelling of calcium.

Calcium is a mineral that is found in dairy products and various dietary supplements. It is used for preventing bones and teeth from breaking down and is also sometimes claimed to be useful for weight loss, lowering blood pressure, and treating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Although calcium supplements are effective for some uses, many uses have little scientific evidence in their favor. You should talk to your healthcare provider before using these products if you are pregnant or have liver disease.
