Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in MRM Probiotic Booster is calcium, a mineral critical for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for maintaining bone density, but you should be aware of potential risks and medication interactions before starting this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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
Before taking this supplement, review your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, take calcium at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption [NIH ODS].
