How it works
Think of calcium as a key player in two critical functions. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals to keep your skeleton strong. It also assists in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 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
Because specific ingredient data for Nature's Sunshine Digestive System Anti-Gas TCM is not available, we cannot make a targeted recommendation for this product. If you are taking any medications affected by calcium, be cautious and consult your healthcare provider before using any calcium-containing supplement [NIH ODS].
