Parathyroid Hormone

Named after the glands where it is produced, parathyroid hormone is single-mindedly focused on managing the amount of calcium in the blood. It indirectly facilitates the storage of calcium via its support of vitamin D and directly stimulates the release of calcium from bone storage when blood levels get too low. Calcium carried from the blood to the skin lives mostly in the outermost layer and plays a role in protecting your skin barrier and maintaining homeostasis.
