Natures Plus BrainCeutix Omega+

Our assessment

Our assessment: Based on the data provided, this supplement contains calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but it requires careful management. You should be aware that the total adverse event reports for this product category number 592,059 [FDA data], though these are not all specific to this single supplement.

How it works

Think of calcium as a building block and signaler — it supports bone mineralization and density by depositing into your skeletal structure, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. This makes it critical for your daily physical function.

Safety profile

Safety profile: You should be cautious with calcium intake. Some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in your 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific side effect report counts for this product alone.

Our recommendation

Our recommendation: Do not take this supplement without first checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. You must separate calcium doses from thyroid medication and certain antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease. Data not available on the specific amount of calcium per serving, so check the label carefully.
