Solgar U-Cubes Children's Multi-Vitamin And Mineral Gummies
Brand: Solgar · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Solgar U-Cubes Children's Multi-Vitamin And Mineral Gummies contain calcium, a mineral critical for your child’s growing bones. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. However, the data is clear that calcium intake must be carefully managed to avoid risks, and no specific dosage or full ingredient list is available for this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and messenger for your child’s body. It helps deposit minerals into bones to keep them dense and strong, and it supports nerve signaling and muscle relaxation so their muscles work properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Based on FDA data, there are 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels 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]. Also, calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because exact ingredient amounts for Solgar U-Cubes are not provided, we cannot confirm if the dose is appropriate for your child. Have your child’s calcium needs assessed by their pediatrician. Ensure they get most calcium from food, and keep total intake from all sources within safe limits [NIH ODS].
