Our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution due to the potential for adverse effects and medication interactions associated with calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator in your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The 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. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
