Brand: Solgar · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the provided data, Solgar Kangavites Complete Multivitamin & Mineral is formulated to deliver a broad range of nutrients, including calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but supplementing with it requires careful consideration of total intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component — it is critical for bone mineralization, which supports bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety profile: High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. For the broader category of multivitamins, FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports, though specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before starting this supplement, review your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, take this product at a different time than those medications [NIH ODS].
