How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, helping to keep your bones strong as you age. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after they fire [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level. Take this supplement separately from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. Speak with your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease.
