Our assessment
Our assessment: Purely Optimal Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies contain calcium, but the amount per serving is not specified in the available data. Calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but the evidence shows you should be cautious about supplementing with it if you are not deficient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and signaler in your body. It supports bone mineralization to keep your skeleton dense and strong, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of this product. However, for calcium in general, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. There is also a potential increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer with very high intakes [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to this gummy product [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend getting your calcium from food sources first. If you choose this gummy, be aware that calcium supplements can interfere with medications like thyroid medicine and some antibiotics [NIH ODS]. Without knowing the exact calcium dose in these gummies, it is difficult to give a precise daily recommendation. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or heart concerns [NIH ODS].
