Our assessment
The evidence shows that Premier Research Labs Premier pH Minerals is a calcium supplement, and calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health. However, the total number of adverse event reports for this specific product is not available in the provided data.

How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after they have been activated [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
High levels of calcium in your 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]. Data on side effects specific to Premier Research Labs Premier pH Minerals is not available.
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the upper limits established by health authorities without professional guidance, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. Take calcium supplements at a separate time from the medications listed above to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. We recommend speaking with your doctor or a registered dietitian to determine if this product is right for your specific needs.
