Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains two active ingredients: calcium and folic acid. For the specific dosage of B12 Adenosylcobalamin 3000 mcg, data is not available for a full assessment. However, for the calcium component, we can provide guidance based on established data.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given that data for the B12 adenosylcobalamin 3000 mcg dosage is not available, we cannot recommend this product without more information. If you are considering this supplement, we advise discussing it with your healthcare provider first, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
