For calcium, which is the only ingredient with data, the evidence supports its role in bone health, but high intakes carry risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
For calcium, think of it as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, while also promoting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
