Premier Research Labs Coral Legend
Brand: Premier Research Labs · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that Premier Research Labs Coral Legend is a calcium supplement, but the data on its specific formulation is limited. The active ingredient, calcium, is essential for bone health and nerve function, but the data does not support broad, unqualified claims about coral-derived calcium being superior to other sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. The product's label indicates it provides calcium, but the specific form (coral calcium) does not have unique mechanisms beyond standard calcium in the data provided.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes can increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Too much calcium can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dose per serving from the label. Without this, we cannot recommend a specific starting dose. If you choose to take this supplement, ensure your total calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) does not exceed the tolerable upper intake level. Always take calcium supplements with food and separate from thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
