Our assessment
The evidence shows that Roex Mineral Basics provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can help you meet your calcium needs, but you must be careful with dosing and potential interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. 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]. You should also be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by evaluating your total calcium intake from all sources, including food. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Take this supplement with food for best absorption, and separate it from any medications listed above by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
