How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones. It works through bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting your muscles' ability to relax and your nerves' ability to signal properly [NIH ODS].
