Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but you should be aware of specific risks. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we advise caution because some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and 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 supplements. For calcium specifically, high levels 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for specific dosing for this product. Before taking this supplement, we recommend you review your total calcium intake from all sources and consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the listed medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
