How it works
Calcium functions as a key structural component for your bones and teeth. It supports bone mineralization and density through bone deposition. Additionally, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in the blood and urine 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult a healthcare provider to determine if this product is appropriate for your needs. Data not available for specific dosage or other ingredients. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
