Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the specific benefits of this multi-ingredient formula as a whole, as only calcium data is available. For calcium specifically, it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a key player in how your nerves and muscles communicate. It helps your bones stay dense and strong through mineralization, and it aids in muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessive calcium can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product's formula. For calcium, you should aim to meet your needs through food first. If you take calcium supplements, be aware of the potential for side effects and medication interactions. Always consult your doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
