It is well known that calcium has an important role in muscle physiology. It has been reported that there is a significant positive correlation between calcium intake and muscle mass. In addition, it has been found that the higher the calcium intake, the lower the onset of sarcopenia. Moreover, calcium and bone health have also been studied for a long time. Calcium is an essential nutrient for musculoskeletal health. |
