Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations and potential medication interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a signal carrier for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. Specific to calcium, 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check your total calcium intake from food and supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
