Our assessment
The evidence shows that Endur-VM Multi-Vitamin & Mineral is a general multivitamin supplement, but you should be aware that the data provided only covers the ingredient calcium. Our assessment is that while a multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps, you must be cautious with the calcium content, as high intakes carry specific risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects for the other ingredients in Endur-VM is not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label of Endur-VM to see exactly how much calcium it provides per serving. If you are already taking calcium from other supplements or foods, or if you take any of the medications listed above, speak with your doctor before starting this multivitamin to avoid excessive intake and potential interactions [NIH ODS].
