Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical nutrient, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation. Data for other ingredients in this specific formula is not available.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, assisting with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Given the potential risks, our recommendation is to get your calcium levels checked by a healthcare professional before starting this supplement. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Discuss this product with your pharmacist or doctor to ensure it is right for you.
