Osteoporosis is a disease in which the density of the bone decreases and bone becomes more porous and fragile which makes it more susceptible to fractures.Bones are composed of 99% of calcium in our body. However calcium is also necessary for other body functions, like contraction of blood vessels activity of muscles etc.When the blood calcium level goes down, a normal process called resorption begins. Resorption is a process of stealing calcium from the blood to normalize the calcium level in the blood. This stealing process is carried out by bone breaking cells called osteoclasts.
