Calcium is an essential mineral involved in many cellular functions including nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, cardiac function, bone formation, and capillary and cell membrane permeability. It also acts as a phosphate binder, helping to control the levels of phosphorous in your blood. This product is used to treat high phosphate levels in people who are receiving dialysis due to severe kidney disease. It works by binding phosphate from food or medication and allowing it to pass out of your body. This product is also used as a food additive and can be found in candy products such as gummy bears. It is also used as a stabilizer, buffer, and sequestrant.
