How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].

For calcium specifically, side effects include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
