How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton and a signal messenger for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should separate calcium intake from these medications by at least two hours.
