How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and structure. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse event reports for this product. However, based on the calcium ingredient data, high levels of calcium 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 total adverse event reports across all products in the FDA database is 592,059 [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before using this supplement. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on this product’s dosage and effects, it is safest to rely on established dietary sources of calcium and discuss any supplementation with a clinician.
