Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains a significant dose of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious with calcium supplementation. High intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and exceeding recommended levels can lead to serious side effects [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it promotes neuromuscular relaxation by calming nerve signaling and muscle contractions [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific data for this product is not available. High levels of calcium in your 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you get your calcium from food first, as high-dose supplements carry risks. If you do supplement, do not exceed 500 mg per dose and check with your doctor if you take any medications listed above. Data on the specific dose in this product is not available, so consult your healthcare provider before starting [NIH ODS].
