Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in Integrative Therapeutics Clinical Nutrients Antioxidant is a well-established mineral for bone health. For adults, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) ranges from 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg daily, depending on age and sex [NIH ODS]. You should check if your total daily intake from food and supplements aligns with this target.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Getting enough calcium helps maintain your skeleton's strength over a lifetime.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and all supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level of 2,000–2,500 mg daily without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For specific dosing guidance on this product, consult a healthcare provider.
