Our assessment
The evidence shows that the ingredient calcium in Pure Encapsulations Iron Liquid plays a key role in bone health, but the data provided does not include specific information on the iron liquid formulation itself. For calcium specifically, the data supports its role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax 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 blood and urine levels 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data on the specific iron liquid formulation is not available. For calcium intake, follow the RDA and avoid high doses without medical supervision. Check for medication interactions if you take any of the listed drugs [NIH ODS].
