Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you need to be careful with supplementation. New Sun Coral Calcium Plus provides calcium, a mineral critical for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not specify the exact amount of calcium per serving, so you should check the label carefully to ensure you are not exceeding the recommended intake.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural worker and a messenger in your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, helping keep your skeleton strong. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after they fire [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not isolated in the data provided. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the label for the exact calcium dose per serving. Do not exceed 2,500 mg of total calcium per day from food and supplements combined. Take calcium with food and separate it from any medications listed in the interactions by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before using this product.
