How it works

Calcium acts as a master regulator for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain strong bones, and promotes neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle recovery after exercise [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key signal for your muscles to contract and relax smoothly.
