Our assessment
The evidence shows that while the product contains calcium, the data on this specific supplement is incomplete. We can only assess the ingredient calcium, not the full formulation as labeled. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you need to be aware of significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth through bone mineralization. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. For calcium supplements generally, 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the data does not provide specific dosage information or a complete ingredient list for this product, we cannot recommend it with confidence. If you are considering a calcium supplement, consult your healthcare provider first, as calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
