Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data on Guru Guru Energy Drink specifically is very limited. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this product as a primary source of calcium. The ingredient list is not provided, so we cannot confirm the amount or form of calcium present [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization and density, helping your skeleton stay strong. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Guru Guru Energy Drink specifically. For calcium in general, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood and urine levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend getting your calcium from food sources or a standard calcium supplement with a known dosage. Do not rely on Guru Guru Energy Drink for your calcium needs, as the exact content is unknown. If you take any of the listed medications, separate them from calcium intake by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
