How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For you, this means calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific counts for Culturelle are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood and urine levels 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].
