How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a mineral that helps your muscles relax and your bones stay strong.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, safety data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
