Good 'N Natural Calcium Citrate
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. Good 'N Natural Calcium Citrate can help you meet your daily needs, but it is critical to be aware of the risks associated with excessive intake. Data not available on the exact amount of calcium per serving from this product's label.
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need consistent intake to maintain these functions.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you choose this supplement, take it as directed and do not exceed the recommended dose. Monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. Because calcium can interfere with other medications, take it at least two hours apart from those drugs. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
