Our assessment
The evidence shows that SmartyPants Organics Prenatal Complete provides calcium, a mineral critical for your baby's skeletal development and your own nerve function. However, you need to be aware of important safety considerations and potential medication interactions before starting this supplement.
How it works
Calcium works as a master builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, which is essential during pregnancy when your baby's skeleton is forming. It also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly, which is why adequate levels are so important for you right now [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products like this one. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Talk to your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications. Calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Your provider can help you time your doses properly and ensure you are not getting excessive calcium from other sources.
