How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization — it helps deposit minerals into your bone tissue to maintain density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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
Given the potential for serious side effects and medication interactions, you should talk to your doctor before starting this supplement. Check if you actually need extra calcium — many people get enough from diet. If you take medications, discuss the timing of doses to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
