Thirty years of research have documented its benefit optimal bone health. Osteocal-MD also contains magnesium and vitamin D3 to provide a comprehensive bone support formula. Vitamin D3 stimulates intestinal calcium absorption and helps regulate calcium and phosphorus homeostasis in the body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, with 99% residing in the bones and teeth.
As a component of hard tissues, Calcium fulfills a structural role to maintain body size and as well as acts as attachments for musculoskeletal tissues. The remaining 1% of calcium is present in blood and soft tissues. Functions of non-skeletal Calcium include enzyme activation, blood clotting, and membrane function for stabilization and transport.
Calcium is also important for nerve impulse transmission, muscular contraction and tone. Low calcium levels have been shown to give a person irritability. Calcium levels in the blood are maintained within very strict limits by dietary intake, hormonal regulation, and a rapidly exchangeable pool in bone tissue.
