How it works
Calcium triggers muscle contraction at the troponin-tropomyosin complex. Hypocalcaemia causes increased membrane excitability and spontaneous cramping (tetany in severe cases). Vitamin D deficiency reduces calcium absorption and impairs neuromuscular function.
Most relevant when deficiency is present — assess with serum calcium and 25-OH vitamin D before high-dose supplementation. Calcium supplementation without vitamin D is poorly absorbed. Avoid excessive supplementation.
