Our assessment
The evidence shows that NutriCology Vitamin E, while containing calcium as an ingredient, must be evaluated based on the data provided. Data not available for the specific effects of this product’s vitamin E content. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a cellular messenger. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton for density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This dual role makes it essential for both your skeletal and muscular systems.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in the database, but data is not available for the specific number of reports tied to this product alone. For calcium, side effects from high 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific daily dose of this product. If you take calcium from any supplement, keep total intake from all sources in check and separate it from certain medications by at least two hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
