How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key nutrient that keeps your skeletal structure strong and your nerves communicating properly.
