Calcium water study reveals Body's quick response
NCT ID NCT05772364
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how healthy adults' bodies handle calcium from drinking water. 41 participants drank low-calcium water first, then high-calcium water, and researchers measured changes in blood and urine calcium and parathyroid hormone levels after 2.5 hours. The goal was to understand the body's short-term metabolic response, not to treat any disease.
