Our assessment
The evidence shows that Complete H2O Minerals Zinc Extra Strength Concentrate contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data available for this specific product is limited, and we must rely on general information about calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-studied nutrient, you should approach this supplement with caution due to potential risks associated with high intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Based on general calcium data, high 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. Because the safety data highlights significant risks from high calcium intake, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney problems. Your doctor can help determine if you actually need extra calcium and at what dose [NIH ODS].
