How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific calcium dosage in this product. Without this information, we cannot recommend a starting dose. If you are considering this supplement, check the label for the exact calcium content and consult your healthcare provider to ensure it aligns with your daily needs and does not interfere with any medications you take [NIH ODS].
