How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a cellular messenger. It works by supporting bone mineralization and density, ensuring your skeleton stays strong. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Based on FDA data, there have been 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you start by assessing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
