vitafusion Calcium Plus Vitamin D Natural Peach Flavor
Brand: vitafusion · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this specific product combines two well-established nutrients: calcium and vitamin D. For most adults, the goal is to get 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily, though individual needs vary [NIH ODS]. This supplement can be a convenient way to help you meet those targets, especially if your diet is low in dairy or you have limited sun exposure.
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin D as the key that unlocks your body's ability to absorb that calcium [NIH ODS]. Together, they support bone density and help maintain normal muscle function. Vitamin D also plays a role in supporting a healthy immune system [NIH ODS]. The natural peach flavor is simply a taste additive and does not affect the supplement's function.
Safety profile
Data not available. We do not have specific FDA adverse event report counts for this exact product. However, the individual ingredients have known safety profiles. Taking more than 2,500 mg of calcium daily from supplements may increase the risk of kidney stones [NIH ODS]. For vitamin D, toxicity is rare but can occur at very high intakes (over 4,000 IU daily long-term), leading to elevated blood calcium levels [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily intake from both food and supplements. If you are already getting enough calcium and vitamin D from your diet, adding this supplement may push you over the safe upper limit. We recommend checking with your healthcare provider to determine your specific needs, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or are taking medications like thiazide diuretics [NIH ODS].
