Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a well-established mineral for bone health, but the data provided does not include specific studies or trials for this product. Our assessment is that while calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS], you must be aware of the safety concerns linked to high intakes. The data does not provide specific dosage information for this product, so you should consult the label directly.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal carrier for your nerves. It works through bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals and support bone density, and through neuromuscular relaxation, which supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
