How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and teeth. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].

The FDA received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

You should not exceed the recommended daily intake of calcium without consulting your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of heart disease or kidney issues [NIH ODS].
