How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation
We recommend you get your calcium from food first. If you do use a supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
