Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bluebonnet Chelated Calcium Magnesium provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: this supplement can help you meet your calcium needs, but you must be aware of the potential risks associated with high intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and deposit minerals into your skeletal structure. Additionally, it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, ensuring your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on total adverse event reports specifically for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you take this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual health profile.
