Brand: Complete H2O Minerals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Complete H2O Minerals Dr. Wood Mineral Formula Concentrate is a supplement whose primary ingredient is calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the risks of supplementation are often underappreciated. We advise caution before starting this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, data shows that 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not take this supplement without first consulting your doctor. Get your blood calcium levels checked and review all medications you take for potential interactions. The potential for serious side effects and medication interactions makes self-directed use risky [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
