How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and strength. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. Based on the calcium ingredient, FDA has received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intake can lead to risks including poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].

The data provided does not contain specific safety or effectiveness information for blue cohosh, and the calcium content is not specified.
