Calcium- It measures the level of calcium in blood. The normal range is 2.2-2.6 mmol/L that promotes bone health.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)- It is present in liver and bone cells and a drop in the level can lead to liver disease and bone disorders. The usual range in adults is 30-120u/L.
Albumin- Low albumin will reduce the density of bone as protein synthesises in the liver. The normal range is 35 – 50g/L.

A bone profile assists in measuring total proteins, globulin and urea too.
