Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health.

For calcium, the RDA for most adults is 1,000 mg daily, but individual needs vary [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.

High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Do not exceed 2,000 mg of total calcium (from diet and supplements) daily without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
