Calcium
The most abundant mineral in the body, essential for bone and teeth structure, muscle contraction, nerve signaling, blood clotting, and enzyme function.
What it’s good for
Muscle CrampsModerate
Calcium is essential for the excitation-contraction coupling in muscle fibers. It triggers the actin-myosin cross-bridge cycle, and both deficiency and imbalance with magnesium can cause spontaneous, sustained muscle contractions (cramps).
Dose: 500–1000 mg
