Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious, as the data on calcium is mixed, and high intakes carry significant health risks. We cannot verify the specific amount of calcium in this product, as the label data is not provided.
How it works
Calcium supports your body in two key ways. First, it is critical for bone mineralization, meaning it helps build and maintain strong, dense bones. Second, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on specific adverse events for this product. However, overall FDA data shows 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements. For calcium specifically, high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label for the exact calcium dosage. If you are taking any medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because of the potential risks from high intake, we advise consulting your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for you.
