The so-called calcium ion antagonism refers to the entry of intracellular calcium ions into the cells through the calcium channel of the cell membrane, which relaxes the vascular smooth muscle and exerts vasodilatation to achieve blood pressure. the goal of. To put it bluntly, it inhibits calcium ions in human blood, rather than the gastrointestinal absorption of calcium supplements. The calcium we usually take, such as calcium calcium carbonate tablets, calcium gluconate oral solution, etc., the absorption route is mainly in the intestine, absorbed into the blood through the intestinal action, and the factors that inhibit its absorption include oxalic acid and plant in the food.
