This pertained to the upregulation of whatever enzymatic pathway builds or removes bone structure... Put another way, the skeleton represents a large reserve of calcium, and keeping blood concentration precisely balanced is a strong priority over how much the bones get to keep for themselves.

This is true, but what many people don't understand is that in the biochemistry of the body, enzymes are used over and over where Vitamins are "burned" or used up in the chemical equation, thus needing to be replaced. And the replacing of the vitamin, in this case Calcium, is where the questions arise.
