How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. It plays a role in bone density maintenance and mineral deposition throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label to confirm the actual ingredient and dosage. If this is a calcium supplement, start with a low dose and take it with food. Separate calcium intake from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least 2 hours. Data on zinc content or specific dosing for this product is not available.
