We must focus on what the data tells us about calcium, which is a key component of this supplement's formulation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your body. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it supports neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the exact calcium content on the label. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you are taking any of these medications, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. For the turmeric and ginger components specifically, data on their safety and efficacy is not available from the provided sources.
