Our assessment

For calcium supplements, our assessment is that you should prioritize getting this mineral from food sources and be cautious with high-dose supplements due to potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for two key processes. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals into your bone structure for density and strength. Second, it enables neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle contraction and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
