Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot confirm the specific dose or form of calcium in this product, as that information is not available. The data does support that calcium is vital for bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your bones strong. Additionally, it plays a role in supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, which is important for your body’s daily movements and communication between cells [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the specific dose of calcium in this product is not available in the data, you should not assume you are meeting your daily needs from this supplement alone. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications. Data not available to confirm the exact amount of calcium per serving.
