How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structure and function. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block for your skeleton and a key player in helping your muscles relax after contracting.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of this product. However, for calcium in general, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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]. The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but a specific report count for this product is not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because the specific calcium dose in this product is not listed in the data, we cannot give a precise daily recommendation. We advise you to check the label for the exact amount and consult your healthcare provider to ensure your total calcium intake from food and supplements does not exceed safe levels [NIH ODS].
