Our assessment
The evidence shows that Endur-VM Multi-Vitamin & Mineral provides calcium, which is essential for bone health and nerve function. However, you should be aware of the risks associated with high calcium intake. Data on this specific product's efficacy is limited, so we rely on general mineral safety data [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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
Our assessment: You should not exceed the recommended daily intake for calcium without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider. Data on the specific benefits of this multi-vitamin is not available.
