Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product's key ingredient, calcium, is well-studied for bone health, but you should be aware of its safety limits and potential interactions. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential, supplementing with it requires careful attention to your total daily intake from food and other sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you first calculate your daily calcium intake from food before adding a supplement. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this supplement is right for you and to check for any potential medication interactions. Data on the specific form of calcium in this product is not available.
