How it works
Calcium is a mineral that acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, not specific to this product. For calcium specifically, high intakes might 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product based on the data provided. The evidence for its effectiveness is not available, and the calcium ingredient carries significant risks at high intakes, including potential heart and kidney issues [NIH ODS]. You should consult a healthcare provider before using this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
