Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in Enzyme Science Flex-Mend supports bone health and neuromuscular function, but the data does not provide a specific dosage for this product [NIH ODS]. You should be aware that high calcium intakes are linked to potential risks, including heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization to maintain strong bone density and promotes neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for Flex-Mend [FDA data]. High calcium levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should consult your healthcare provider before starting Flex-Mend, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Without a specific dosage in the data, we cannot recommend a starting amount [Data not available].
