Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a mineral with well-documented benefits and specific risks. For calcium, the data indicates its primary role is in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for maintaining strong bones, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse event reports for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high levels can cause serious side effects including 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].
Our recommendation
Our assessment: you should be cautious with this product due to the potential risks of high calcium intake. Check with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any medications for osteoporosis, infections, or thyroid conditions. Do not exceed the recommended dosage on the label, and monitor for symptoms like constipation, nausea, or unusual tiredness [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
