Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral with established benefits for bone health.

How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a cellular signaler. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the ingredient calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to recommend this specific product. For calcium supplementation generally, aim to meet your needs through diet first, as the safety of high-dose supplements is not fully established [NIH ODS]. If you take calcium supplements, be aware of the potential interactions with medications listed above and consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
