How it works

Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bones and teeth, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for specific side effect reports for this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. 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].

Our recommendation

Because this product contains calcium, you should be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing this supplement with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure it is safe for you, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
