Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that calcium is a foundational mineral for bone health and nerve function, but the data also reveals important risks you need to know. For the product Pure Advantage Bx3, specific ingredient amounts are not available from the data, so we must focus on the general profile of calcium. High intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for calcium alone are not broken out in this data. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because the exact calcium dose in Pure Advantage Bx3 is not provided, we cannot confirm whether this product is safe for you. If you are considering a calcium supplement, be cautious with high doses and consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. Data not available for specific dosage or product-specific studies [NIH ODS].
