Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium. For most adults, the primary role of calcium is supporting bone health, but it is critical to be aware of the risks associated with excessive intake. Data not available on the specific dosage in this formula.
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 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Symptoms of very high calcium levels include 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
Before taking this supplement, check the calcium dose per serving. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Take calcium separately from these medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
