Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for bone health, the specific product "NESS Nutritional Enzyme Support System Formula 9 Kidney Support" lacks sufficient data for us to make a confident recommendation. We can only assess the calcium ingredient, which is present in this formula. For general calcium supplementation, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this specific product due to a lack of data on its overall formula and kidney support claims. If you are considering calcium supplementation, be cautious with dosing to avoid high blood levels. Always consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
