Our assessment
The evidence shows that Jigsaw Health Essential Blend Multi Mineral provides calcium, a mineral with a clear role in bone health. However, the data highlights important safety considerations. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on specific side effects for this product from the FDA data provided. However, high levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with calcium supplementation. Focus on getting calcium from food first. If you take this supplement, do not exceed the recommended dose, and discuss it with your doctor, especially if you take any of the interacting medications listed [NIH ODS].
