Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides 29 mg of iron, but the data provided focuses on calcium, not iron. Our assessment is that you should not take this product based on the information available. The data for the actual ingredient in this supplement is missing. Data not available for iron in this product.
How it works
Since the data provided covers calcium, we can explain how that mineral works. Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product because the data provided does not include information on iron. For any supplement, you need specific data on the active ingredient. For calcium, you should be aware that it can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
