Our assessment
The data shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, we must be clear about the significant safety considerations before you start taking it. The evidence shows that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for strong bones. Additionally, it supports muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high levels in your 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
Before taking this supplement, you must consider your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider to assess whether you need additional calcium and to review potential interactions with your medications. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label [NIH ODS].
