Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data does not provide specific amounts of calcium per serving for this particular product, so we cannot confirm if it meets the RDA. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-supported nutrient, your individual need depends on your diet and overall supplement regimen. You should consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe limits [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a key player in nerve and muscle function. It supports bone density and mineralization, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in this category. For calcium specifically, too much can be risky. Some research suggests that 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium content per serving for this specific product. Because of this, we cannot make a precise dosage recommendation. In general, be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should consult your healthcare provider to determine if this product is appropriate for you and to avoid potential interactions or excessive intake.
