Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains two key ingredients, but data specific to this exact combination is limited. For calcium, the mineral present, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations and medication interactions before starting supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. Based on the ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in their database [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, check with your doctor if you take any medications, because calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed recommended doses without medical supervision.
