Calcium Binding by Normal Human Saliva

Normal human saliva from most subjects contains substances apparently capable of complexing more than half the calcium present. The inorganic phosphate and protein of saliva are present in insufficient quantities to account for more than a small fraction of the calcium-complexing capacity. Evidence indicates that most of the complexing material is dialyzable.
