Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for maintaining bone density and supporting nerve and muscle function [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that the data on this specific product is limited to its ingredient profile.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong skeletal structure [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on specific adverse events for this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are considering this supplement, we recommend you first assess your dietary calcium intake. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Be cautious if you take any of the medications listed in the safety profile, as calcium can interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
