Our assessment
The evidence shows that copper is an essential trace mineral, but the data provided does not contain specific information about the ingredient "Copper" as listed in your product. For the ingredient Calcium, our assessment is that it is crucial for bone health, but supplementation requires careful consideration of dosage and timing due to potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for copper-specific dosing from the provided sources. For calcium, you should be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing your overall mineral intake with your healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
