How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density and strength. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on specific side effect reports for this product. For calcium supplements generally, the data shows that 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific counts for this product are not provided [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact calcium dosage. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. If you take any of these, separate your supplement from your medication by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for any side effects like constipation or nausea.
