Sulkowitch calcium test
☑ It is a tool that helps indirectly measure calcium stores in the body by examining the excreted amount found in the urine.
☑ We use this test as a marker for adequate digestion and absorption of calcium, excessive urinary excretion of calcium, and to monitor if calcium intake through foods or supplementation is adequate.
☑ Calcium absorption depends on the acidity of the stomach, the presence of many different vitamin and mineral co-factors, including the amount of phosphate present, and the integrity of the lining of the small intestine.
