Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions. Our assessment is that while calcium supports bone density and nerve function, you must be cautious with dosing to avoid serious side effects [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium supplements in general, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the report count specific to this product is not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your current calcium intake from food. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take calcium separately from these medications. Consult your doctor before supplementing, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
