Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a foundational mineral for bone health, but the data on high intakes calls for caution. For the New Sun Calcium Magnesium Liquid, we can only assess the calcium component based on the provided data. Our assessment: this supplement can support your bone density and nerve function, but you must be mindful of total calcium intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a cellular messenger. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not isolated in the data. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Symptoms of excessively high calcium levels include 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
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. This liquid form may be easier to absorb, but do not exceed 2,500 mg total per day. Take this supplement at least two hours apart from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
