Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Based on the data, calcium supports bone density and mineral deposition, as well as muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of the potential risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a critical player in your nervous system. It works through bone mineralization to keep your skeleton strong and supports neuromuscular relaxation to help your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high 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].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with calcium supplements. They can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the specific dose in this product. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine if calcium supplementation is right for you and to check for any potential medication interactions.
