Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the data provided, this product is listed as Dr. Clark Store Vitamin B12 1 mg, but the only ingredient data available is for Calcium. For Vitamin B12 specifically, data is not available. The evidence for Calcium shows it is a mineral essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Since the label is for Vitamin B12 but all data provided pertains to Calcium, you should consult a healthcare professional to confirm the actual ingredient list. If you are considering a calcium supplement, keep your intake within recommended levels and take it separately from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
