Our assessment

The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in this dataset. For the ingredient Calcium, potential side effects from high intakes include nausea, constipation, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
