Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for bone health, you need to be careful with supplementation. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. However, there are important safety considerations you should know before adding it to your regimen.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For the product Jarrow Formulas B-Right, calcium content data is not available.
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
Data not available for the specific calcium content in Jarrow Formulas B-Right. If you are considering a calcium supplement, talk with your doctor about your individual needs and potential medication interactions. Start with food sources first and only supplement to meet, not exceed, your daily needs [NIH ODS].
