Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the data we have is incomplete, as specific dosage information for this product is not available. We can only assess the ingredient based on what is known about calcium supplements generally.
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, 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
Before taking this supplement, we recommend you check the label for the exact dosage per serving. You should also be aware of your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food. If you take any prescription medications, especially those listed above, consult your doctor or pharmacist to discuss proper timing to avoid interactions [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific benefits of this product for allergy relief is not available.
