Calcium metabolism refers to the way our bodies use and manage calcium, which is an essential mineral for various functions in our body, including building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, aiding in muscle function, and supporting nerve transmission. It involves processes like absorption from the digestive system, storage in bones, release into the bloodstream when needed, and elimination through urine.
Calcium metabolism ensures that our body maintains a proper balance of calcium for optimal health and wellbeing.
