How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization [NIH ODS]. Calcium also acts as a nerve relaxer, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile

High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
