Our assessment
The evidence shows that Freeda High Potency Multi-Vitamin QuinTabs-M provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: you can use this supplement to help meet your calcium needs, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeleton and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. Based on the calcium component, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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]. The total adverse event database for all dietary supplements contains 592,059 reports [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Take this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Take calcium supplements at least two hours apart from these medications [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting your doctor.
