Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multi-mineral supplement provides calcium, which is critical for bone health. Our assessment is that you can benefit from a multi-mineral, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium, the only ingredient with data available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a cellular signal. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available in the provided data. High calcium intake may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation

If you take any medications listed above, take this supplement at a separate time. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine if this multi-mineral is right for you [NIH ODS].
