Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product contains iron, the data provided focuses entirely on calcium, not iron. Our assessment is that we cannot evaluate the specific benefits of Nature Made Iron 65 mg based on the supplied data. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for iron-specific side effects. For 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 received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this specific iron product based on the data provided. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
