The answer would be false.

Most of the calcium from the diet would not be absorbed. In fact, only 20-30% of it will be absorbed. There are several factors that influence the absorption of calcium like vitamin D intake, the presence of phosphate, parathyroid hormone activity, and acidity. Calcium is regulated tightly by multiple organs because it was one of the ions that have important roles in muscle and nerve stimulation.
