About This Test

Reason to Check It

"Calcium is a mineral that is important for normal growth of bones and teeth as well as proper functioning of nerves and muscles.  Most of our body’s calcium is stored in bones, but it is also found in our muscle cells and blood.  Calcium is important for muscle contraction.  It is essential for normal heart rhythm.

Elevated levels of calcium may be due to excess intake of calcium supplementation, certain medications or even cancer." - Dr. Alan Hopkins
