Our assessment
Our assessment: Juice Plus+ Omega Blend + contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that the data on high calcium intakes raises some important safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals to maintain strong bone density, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, the data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in your 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dose in this product. Before taking this supplement, you should review your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. If you take any prescription medications, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions [NIH ODS]. Start with the lowest effective dose to meet your needs, and do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
