Major Calcium 250 mg + D3
Brand: Major · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement combines two well-studied ingredients, but the specific brand formulation and dosage are not available in the data provided. For general guidance, calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling, while vitamin D3 aids calcium absorption [NIH ODS]. We cannot assess the specific effectiveness of this product without its full label information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb that calcium efficiently, directing it to where it's needed most — your skeleton [NIH ODS]. The combination is designed to support bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data on adverse events for this specific product is not available. The FDA has received 592,059 total reports for all supplements, but this number is not specific to this product [FDA data]. For calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the label details are not provided, we cannot recommend a specific dose or usage for this product. If you choose to take a calcium supplement, consult your healthcare provider first, especially if you take prescription medications. Be sure to follow the label instructions exactly and do not exceed the recommended daily intake without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
