How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, helping maintain skeletal strength [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, which helps your muscles relax and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
