Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with established benefits for bone health. However, the data is limited to a single ingredient, and we cannot evaluate the full formula. You should approach this supplement with a clear understanding of calcium’s specific role and its potential risks.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the foundation for your skeletal strength and muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. Specific to calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: If you are considering this supplement, you should first assess your dietary calcium intake. Be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions. Data on the full product's efficacy and safety is not available. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of the listed medications [NIH ODS].
