How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you use this product, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications (bisphosphonates, tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin), take this product at a different time of day than your medication to minimize absorption interference [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
