How our teeth and bones are made from calcium that came from supernovas

How can you trace minerals from supernovas to our teeth and bones? Isn’t the calcium that make up our bones produced during our gestation? How is that connected to a supernova from potentially millions of years ago?

The calcium in your bones is taken from blood. It gets into blood from food. The atoms are not destroyed or created there. All these calcium atoms are just redistributed. When you die it goes into the ground and back into nature.

Fusing new atoms is incredibly energy-consuming process that is happening under huge pressures and temperatures of stars.
