How it works
Calcium supports your body as a master regulator for bone density through a process called bone mineralization [NIH ODS]. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. These functions are especially important as you age.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements analyzed. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on specific side effect report counts for this product.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not start this supplement without first reviewing the full label for all ingredients and their amounts. If you take any medications, consult your doctor or pharmacist about potential calcium interactions [NIH ODS]. For general bone health, focus on getting calcium from food sources first. Data not available on the exact dosage of calcium in this product, so we cannot provide a specific intake recommendation.
