It would also do you good to acquire a good magnesium supplement while taking your calcium supplement. Taking calcium supplements without the magnesium factor can cause calcium build up in your cells and even pineal gland.
Magnesium balances calcium. Most people are deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is super super important
My calcium supplement has microcrystaline calcium with phosphorous, vitamin D, magnesium and boron
With due respect, calcium is either stored inside specialized organelles, e.g. the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria, or bound by proteins inside cells.
Calcification of blood vessels, a far more serious problem, depends upon the activity of a vitamin-K2-dependent protein,
the Matrix-gla-protein. If vitamin K2 is absent, this leads to the building of calcium inside your blood vessels, leading to
a plethora of cardiovascular problems.
( Trivia: depending on genetic factors, more or less extremely high levels of calcium can increase both the heart rate and strength of its contraction, even to pathological levels, as cardiac muscle cells are the only muscle cells taking in calcium from the outside in order to contract. Magnesium inhibits this effect, causing relaxation )
Magnesium does help by further stabilizing the matrices of bones and enamel.
If I may add, it is extremely important to pay attention to what kind of vitamin K one purchases, as vitamin K exists in three
vitameres, with vitamin K3 being the inferior one, as it lacks an important side chain, and vitamin K2 ( menaquinone ) being the most biologically important one.
