Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a foundational mineral for your bone health and nerve function. However, the data on Complete H2O Minerals Calcium Concentrate is limited. Our assessment is that while calcium itself is well-studied, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with high calcium intake before starting this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It works through a process called bone mineralization, supporting bone density and the deposition of new mineral into your bones. Beyond your skeleton, calcium also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. The data shows that high calcium intake carries significant risks. High levels of calcium in your 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. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you take this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium beyond your diet. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and consult your healthcare provider to monitor your blood calcium levels and kidney function. Data not available for specific dosage from this product's label.
