Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for maintaining bone density, but the specific formulation here requires careful consideration regarding your total daily intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels 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].
Our recommendation
If you take this product, be mindful of your total daily calcium from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your pharmacist or doctor to review your full medication list and dietary intake before starting this formula.
