For you, this means the product may support bone density, but it is important to understand the specific risks and limitations associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for this product. However, high calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, you should check your current calcium intake from food and other supplements.
