Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral that supports bone health, but you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation. Data not available on the exact dosage of calcium in this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high 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
Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because the exact dosage in this product is not labeled, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before use to ensure it is appropriate for your health needs and current medications.
