Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a calcium supplement, and calcium plays a vital role in bone health. However, you should be aware that the data linking high calcium intakes to potential risks is significant and requires your attention. The total number of adverse event reports for all dietary supplements in the FDA database is 592,059 [FDA data].
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data on side effects for this specific product is not available. However, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might 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
Start by reviewing your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take any of the medications listed.
