Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health and nerve function. For the Cooper Complete Chewable Calcium 333 mg product, our assessment is that it provides a meaningful dose to support your daily needs, but you must be mindful of total intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It directly supports bone mineralization and density, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not isolated. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney problems, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with one chewable tablet daily, but check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Take it separately from medications like thyroid hormone or certain antibiotics by at least 2 hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
