Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on calcium is complex and requires careful consideration. For most adults, getting calcium from food is preferable, and supplementation should be approached with caution [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps regulate muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney issues, constipation, nausea, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage for this product. Prioritize calcium from dietary sources like dairy, leafy greens, and fortified foods. If you are considering a supplement, discuss your total calcium intake from food and any medications you take with your healthcare provider first to avoid potential risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
