Our assessment
The evidence shows that NutriCology OcuDyne II is a supplement containing calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. Our assessment: calcium is well-supported for maintaining strong bones, but you should be aware of specific safety considerations before adding it to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, while also aiding in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Your body relies on a steady supply of calcium to keep your bones dense and your muscles functioning properly.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, taking high amounts can lead to constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements. Most adults need 1,000 to 1,200 mg per day. If you take other medications, separate calcium by at least 2 hours. Do not exceed the upper limit of 2,500 mg daily from all sources [NIH ODS].
