Kirkman EveryDay Multi-Vitamin

Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data available does not provide specific dosage information for this particular multi-vitamin, so we cannot assess its potency relative to your needs [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth through a process called bone mineralization, where it helps deposit minerals to maintain density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium in general, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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 [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products, but specific side effect counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the label details are not provided, you should check the bottle for the exact calcium content. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your supplement from your medication by at least two hours. Without knowing the full ingredient list, it is safest to consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting this multi-vitamin.
