Brand: Darya-Varia · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Darya-Varia Moloco + B12 provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Based on the data, calcium supports bone mineralization and density, as well as neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You should be aware that while calcium is necessary, high intakes may carry risks.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It works by depositing into bone tissue to maintain density and strength. It also plays a key role in helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Some research suggests that 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
You should take this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium. Be mindful of your total daily intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid excessive levels. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours to prevent absorption issues [NIH ODS].
