Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, you should be aware of the balance between benefits and risks. The data does not provide specific amounts of calcium in this formula, so you cannot know your exact intake from this supplement alone [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a structural component for your bones and teeth, supporting bone density through a process called bone mineralization. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles contract and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA 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. Side effects from very high levels in the blood and urine include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the exact amount of calcium is not listed on the label provided, we recommend you check the product packaging for the specific milligram (mg) amount per serving. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance of 1,000–1,200 mg total from food and supplements combined. If you take any of the medications listed, take your supplement at a different time of day. Data not available on other ingredients in this formula [NIH ODS].
