How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural framework. It supports bone mineralization and density, helping to keep your skeleton strong. Additionally, it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For this specific ingredient, some research suggests that high calcium 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
