Good 'N Natural Timed Release One Multivitamin/Mineral Formula
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multivitamin is a standard, general-purpose formulation. The key active ingredient with available data is calcium, which plays a foundational role in bone health. However, you should be aware that the data on calcium supplementation is nuanced, with both benefits and potential risks to consider [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a cellular messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, which is critical for preventing fractures as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium specifically, very high intakes are linked to risks including constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. Some research also suggests a potential increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer with high calcium intakes [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) and certain antibiotics [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dose in this specific formula. If you take this multivitamin, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources (food and other supplements). Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level of 2,500 mg daily without medical supervision. If you take thyroid medication or antibiotics, space them apart from this supplement by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
