What is Hypocalcemia about?
Calcium is essential for bone and teeth formation, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and other cellular processes. The recommended daily intake is 800 mg. Calcium levels in the body are tightly regulated by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D. Hypocalcemia can result from low intake, malabsorption, hormone imbalances, medications, or other conditions that interfere with calcium regulation. The main symptoms are neuromuscular irritability and seizures.
