    GlossaryCalcium Balance

    equilibrium of calcium intake, absorption, and excretion in body

    Calcium balance refers to the equilibrium between calcium intake, absorption, and excretion in the body. It is crucial for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and various physiological functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Proper calcium balance ensures that the body has enough calcium to support these functions without leading to deficiencies or excesses that could cause health issues like osteoporosis or kidney stones.
