Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation before using this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine 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
If you choose to use this product, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the specific dose of calcium in this product, so you should check the label carefully. We recommend you discuss calcium supplementation with your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe for you, especially if you take any of the listed medications.
