AB Less  then  one  percent  of  the  body's  calcium  is  in  the  circulation.Only  the  ionized  form  of  circulating  calcium  is  physiologically  active.Parathyroid  hormone  (PTH),  vitamin  D,  and  calcitonin  are  the  hormones  that  control  calcium  levels.IV  calcium  can  be  given  as  calcium  chloride  or  calcium  gluconate  but  the  mg  doses  are  different.IV  calcium  is  very  irritating  to  tissues  and  veins.
