How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. Without sufficient calcium, your body may pull it from your bones, weakening them over time [NIH ODS].
