Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a well-studied mineral for bone health. However, the specific formulation of Purity Products Chris Kilham's Vital Brilliance is not what we rely on here — we focus on the ingredient data provided. For you, the key takeaway is that calcium supports bone density and nerve function, but you must be cautious with dosing and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it also aids neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: If you choose to take this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. You should space these medications at least 2 hours apart from calcium. Data not available for exact calcium dosage in this product — consult your healthcare provider before starting [NIH ODS].
