Is the rough endoplasmic reticulum responsible for calcium storage and release?

Yes. "Smooth ER also is involved in the uptake and release of calcium to mediate some types of cellular activity. In skeletal muscle cells, for example, the release of calcium from the smooth ER triggers muscle contraction." Source: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761587444/Endoplasmic_Reticulum.html


What gland in the human body regulates metabolism growth and calcium uptake?

The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, growth, and calcium uptake. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, also makes proteins and controls the body's sensitivity to other hormones.

Why do you supplement with inositol?

Inositol was considered a B vitamin because of numerous health benefits. It influences calcium balance and also calcium uptake in bones. Animals were fed inositol and radioactive calcium so the calcium could be traced after it was ingested. The inositol improved calcium uptake in the bone by 48% compared to animals that did not have inositol. Silical is a nutritional supplement for bone health that has inositol but most bone health supplements do not have inositol as an ingredient. Charles T. Price, M.D. Institute for Better Bone Health
