Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For most adults, the recommended daily allowance for calcium is 1,000 mg, but you should check your total intake from food and supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth, supporting bone density through mineralization. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available specifically for this product’s side effects. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our assessment: If you take this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take it at least two hours apart from these drugs. Do not exceed 2,000 mg of total calcium per day from all sources without consulting your doctor [NIH ODS].
