New Sun Coral Calcium Plus
Brand: New Sun · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Sun Coral Calcium Plus provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For most adults, the recommended daily allowance for calcium is 1,000 mg, increasing to 1,200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70 [NIH ODS]. You should evaluate your total calcium intake from food and supplements to stay within safe limits.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is critical for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Your body needs consistent calcium intake to maintain these functions.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, high calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your daily calcium intake from food sources. If you need a supplement, choose one that provides no more than 500–600 mg per dose to maximize absorption. Do not exceed 2,000 mg total daily calcium from all sources without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
