How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without sufficient calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, which can weaken them over time [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the dataset [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
For most adults, aim for 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium daily from food first, such as dairy, leafy greens, or fortified foods. If you use a supplement, take it with food and separate it from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Check with your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
