Rugby Calcium Lactate
Brand: Rugby · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your health, but it must be used with care. Rugby Calcium Lactate provides a source of calcium, a mineral that supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not specify the exact amount of calcium per serving for this specific product, so you should check the label carefully to ensure you are not exceeding recommended intakes.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This means calcium helps your bones stay strong and your muscles relax properly after contracting.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for Rugby Calcium Lactate are not available in the data provided. Be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Signs of excessively high calcium in the blood or urine include 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 supplements can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use Rugby Calcium Lactate only after verifying the exact calcium dose per tablet on the label, as that data is not provided here. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without consulting your doctor. To minimize risks, take calcium supplements with food and separate them from the medications listed in the interactions section by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, speak with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
