How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium for these foundational bodily functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available.
