There is calcium in many foods. Sometimes, calcium is added to foods and drinks so that people will ingest this needed element into their bodies. However, calcium can be easily found. Rocks, seashells and chalk contain calcium. Therefore, if you can find certain rocks and chalk, then you may be well aware that calcium is in abundance. Also, seashells are easy to find.
