Our assessment
The evidence shows that the active ingredient in this product, calcium, is a well-established mineral for bone health. However, for a product marketed for "youthful beauty," the data does not support claims for skin, hair, or nail benefits. Our assessment: This product may support your bone density as part of a complete diet, but you should not expect it to improve your appearance [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. Your body uses it for bone mineralization and also for neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The data warns that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage from this product's label. However, you should be cautious with calcium supplements. They can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Our recommendation: Get your calcium from food first, and speak with your doctor before adding this supplement, especially if you take any of the listed medications.
