Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but we have significant concerns about the lack of specific dosage information on the label. Without knowing the exact amount of Calcium per serving, it is impossible to assess whether this supplement provides a safe and effective dose for you. Data on Calcium from the NIH ODS indicates it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles and nerves. It works by depositing into your bone matrix to maintain density and by helping your muscles relax after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. Specific to Calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive intake include 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 medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product because the exact dosage of Calcium is not provided on the label. Data not available for the specific dose per serving. Without this information, you cannot ensure you are taking a safe amount, especially given the serious risks of high calcium intake. We advise you to choose a supplement with a clearly stated dose and to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new regimen [NIH ODS].
