Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data for calcium does not support a blanket recommendation for supplementation without a clear clinical need. You should be aware that the risks may outweigh benefits for many people, especially if you are getting enough calcium from your diet [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in your blood can cause poor muscle tone, kidney dysfunction, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. Do not take calcium supplements unless you have confirmed a deficiency with a healthcare provider. If you do need supplementation, take it separately from your thyroid medication and antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
