Jigsaw Health Essential Blend Multi Mineral
Brand: Jigsaw Health · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Jigsaw Health Essential Blend Multi Mineral is a calcium-based supplement. For the general adult population, meeting calcium needs through food is preferred, but a supplement can help fill gaps. Our assessment: this product can support bone health, but you need to be aware of the specific risks and medication interactions associated with calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it also aids neuromuscular relaxation, or the calming of muscle and nerve signals [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you take this product, do not exceed the recommended dose. Take it with food to improve absorption. If you take any prescription medications, especially thyroid medication or antibiotics, separate this supplement by at least 2 hours. Consult your doctor before starting, particularly if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
