How it works
Calcium, one included ingredient, plays a role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it supports bone density and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. However, the mechanism of the full formula cannot be assessed due to missing data on other ingredients.

The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not provided [FDA data].

If you need calcium, focus on dietary sources first, and be aware that calcium supplements can interfere with medications like thyroid hormone and certain antibiotics [NIH ODS].
