Our assessment
The evidence shows that the ingredients in this product, specifically calcium, have well-documented roles in the body. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you should be aware of both its benefits and its potential risks before taking this supplement.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a critical signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and 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 the ingredient calcium, 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 for all supplement products [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, consider your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, take this supplement at a different time of day than those medications [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine if this product is appropriate for your individual needs.
