Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. However, based on the data provided, there is no information on the specific dose of calcium in this product or any clinical studies on the combination of ingredients. We cannot confirm the effectiveness of this specific formulation for any health condition.
How it works
Calcium plays a key role in bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your skeleton and a critical messenger for your nerves and muscles.
Safety profile
Safety data is based on calcium alone. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very 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]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products, but the number specifically for this product is not available [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not include the dosage of calcium in this supplement or any studies on the product itself, we cannot recommend it. If you are considering a calcium supplement, data not available on the specific amount in this product makes it impossible to assess its safety or effectiveness. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
