Minerals, particularly calcium, play a critical role in supporting the parathyroid glands and the overall parathyroid body system. The parathyroid glands regulate calcium and phosphorus balance in the body through the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Scientific evidence demonstrates that adequate mineral intake, especially calcium, is essential for proper parathyroid function. When serum calcium levels decrease, the parathyroid glands increase PTH secretion to restore balance by promoting calcium release from bones, increasing intestinal absorption, and reducing renal excretion. Conversely, sufficient dietary calcium helps maintain normal PTH levels and parathyroid health.

Magnesium is another mineral with validated importance for parathyroid function. Magnesium deficiency can impair PTH secretion and action, leading to disturbances in calcium homeostasis. Clinical and experimental studies have established that supplementation with calcium and magnesium can correct related dysfunctions and are integral to the management of parathyroid disorders, such as hypoparathyroidism.

While other minerals may have indirect roles, calcium and magnesium have clear, direct scientific validation for supporting the parathyroid system. These findings are reflected in clinical guidelines for managing parathyroid-related conditions and are supported by a robust body of endocrinological research.
