Dr. David Williams Total CardioCover + Magnesium
Brand: Dr. David Williams · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
Our assessment: Total CardioCover + Magnesium contains calcium, which is essential for bone health and nerve function. The evidence shows that this product is unlikely to provide benefits beyond what you could get from a standard calcium supplement. You should be aware of the specific risks associated with high calcium intake, which are documented in the data provided.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bones and teeth. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in this category. The data does not provide specific report counts for this product. Side effects from high calcium intake can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine may also cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on a specific recommended dose for this product. You should be cautious with calcium supplements, as some research suggests high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine. Talk to your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications [NIH ODS].
