How it works
Calcium is a key mineral for building and maintaining strong bones. Your body also uses calcium for muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and blood vessel function. Without adequate intake, your body will leach calcium from your bones to support these critical processes [NIH ODS].

For calcium supplements generally, the FDA data provided does not include specific side effect report counts for this product. The NIH ODS warns that taking more than 2,000 mg of calcium daily from food and supplements may increase the risk of kidney stones and other health issues [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Without specific dosage data for USANA Active Calcium, we cannot give a precise daily recommendation. For most adults, the RDA for calcium is 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg per day from all sources combined [NIH ODS].
