Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your health, but the specific product you asked about — Custom Probiotics D-Lactate Free Probiotic Powder — does not contain calcium as a listed ingredient. Data for this specific product is limited. Our assessment is based on general data for calcium as a dietary supplement. You should not expect to get calcium from this probiotic product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Since the Custom Probiotics D-Lactate Free Probiotic Powder does not contain calcium, do not take it as a calcium source. If you need calcium, choose a dedicated calcium supplement and be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
