Our assessment
The evidence shows that SmartyPants Organics Prenatal Complete is a dietary supplement, and we have specific data on one of its ingredients, calcium. Our assessment is based solely on the provided data: calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of important safety considerations and potential interactions before taking this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical during pregnancy [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium aids in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your muscles relax and your nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. Based on the data for calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very 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 urination, 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 on the exact dosage of calcium in this product, so you should check the label carefully. If you take any of the medications listed that interact with calcium, you should space them apart from this supplement by at least two hours, if possible. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting this prenatal, especially to review your total calcium intake from all sources and to discuss any medications you are taking [NIH ODS].
