Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, is a colorless and odorless liquid that is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is a sugar alcohol and is also naturally occurring in the body. Glycerol is primarily used as a humectant in commercial products, which helps substances to retain moisture. It is also commonly used in food products as a sweetener and a thickening agent, and is also an ingredient in many cosmetics and personal care products, such as soaps and lotions, to help keep skin hydrated. Glycerol has a variety of medicinal uses, including as a laxative. Additionally, it is purported to help improve athletic performance by improving endurance and delaying the onset of fatigue. Glycerol can be used as a drug masking agent and is therefore banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
