Together, these findings suggest that ferulic acid can act as a natural regulator of intestinal motility. By reducing excessive smooth muscle activity, the compound could potentially help calm ...

Ferulic acid suppresses ileal smooth muscle contraction by inhibiting calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels. This action may help prevent or treat excessive intestinal motility ...

Vitamin D deficiency, rampant in India at 70–90% of the population, adds another layer of trouble by curbing calcium absorption despite solid intake.

Calcium is usually associated with foods such as dairy and leafy vegetables, but adding some herbs and spices to your foods can help up their calcium content.

The muscle damage that will weaken you at 60 may begin decades earlier. Not as soreness or fatigue, but as a microscopic cascade you cannot feel: damaged proteins piling up, calcium pumps seizing, the ...

Evidence from randomized trials suggests that calcium supplements may not significantly reduce fracture risk in ...

A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has ...
