How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific side effects of this product. However, for calcium generally, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in the blood and urine 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the label for the exact calcium dose per serving. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your calcium intake by at least two hours. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease [NIH ODS].
