How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone structure. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which supports normal muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton and a regulator for your muscles and nerves.
