Our assessment

However, our assessment is that you need to be cautious with calcium supplementation due to potential risks. Data not available for other ingredients in this specific product.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and also helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural foundation for your skeleton and a key player in how your nerves communicate.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high levels include 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 absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your dietary calcium intake before adding this supplement. Because of the potential for serious side effects and medication interactions, we recommend you get calcium from food sources first. If you need a supplement, consult your doctor for a blood test to check your levels. Always take calcium supplements with food and separate from other medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
