- Calcitriol: is the active form of vitamin D, and it is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralization. It maintains serum calcium levels by increasing calcium absorption in the GI tract. It promotes healthy bone formation by the calcification of osteoid tissue. It also directly inhibits parathyroid gland activity by decreasing parathyroid hormone synthesis and release.
- Calcium: Help form bones and teeth, assist in the movement of muscles, help with nerve messaging between the brain and body systems, help blood flow as vessels relax and constrict and release hormones and enzymes that support body functions
- Zinc: is required for the catalytic activity of hundreds of enzymes, and it plays a role in enhancing immune function, protein and DNA synthesis, wound healing and cell signaling and division
