Gaspari Nutrition Bone Broth Natural Vanilla
Brand: Gaspari Nutrition · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Gaspari Nutrition Bone Broth Natural Vanilla is a supplemental source of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: the product may help you support your bone density, but the data on its specific formulation is limited, and you should be aware of the risks associated with high calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and helps regulate muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not broken out. For calcium specifically, data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excess calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total calcium intake from all sources — food, water, and supplements. The label does not specify the exact calcium dose per serving, so "Data not available" for precise dosing guidance. To be safe, avoid exceeding 2,000 mg of total calcium daily from all sources. Separate calcium supplements from thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least 4 hours [NIH ODS]. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.
