New Sun Ultra Multiple Vitamin
Brand: New Sun · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Sun Ultra Multiple Vitamin contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, you should know that the total adverse event reports for this product category are 592,059, which is a significant number [FDA data]. Our assessment is that while calcium is necessary, you must be cautious about total intake from all sources.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This dual role makes it critical for daily function, but your body cannot produce it on its own.
Safety profile
High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive intake include 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]. Data not available on the specific number of adverse event reports for this exact product formulation [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend you discuss this product with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of these medications [NIH ODS].
