Biomic Sciences Restore

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Biomic Sciences Restore contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the data on this specific product is incomplete. Our assessment is based on the calcium ingredient, as the full ingredient list for this product is not provided. You should be aware that calcium is well-studied, but the benefits and risks depend heavily on your total dietary intake and current health status [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Because the full ingredient list for Biomic Sciences Restore is not available, we cannot provide a specific recommendation for this product. If you are considering a calcium supplement, you should first assess your total dietary calcium intake. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision, and take calcium separately from the medications listed above to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
