How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization. Additionally, calcium plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in this data set. For calcium specifically, 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].

Our recommendation
You should aim for the recommended dietary allowance of calcium from food sources first. If you take a supplement, be aware of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications.
