Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement contains calcium, which is a critical mineral for bone health and nerve function. However, the data reveals important safety considerations that you need to understand before taking it. Data on the specific formula's effectiveness is not available from the provided sources.
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 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 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the potential risks, you should only take this supplement if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your current diet and any medications you take, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label [NIH ODS].
