Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health. However, we must be very clear about the risks. Our assessment is that you should only take this supplement if you have a confirmed calcium deficiency, as the risks of unsupervised use may outweigh the benefits. Data not available for the specific formulation of this product beyond the listed ingredient.
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for preventing fractures as you age. Additionally, calcium plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. The safety profile for calcium is concerning at high intakes. Some research suggests that high calcium 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
We recommend you do not take this supplement without a doctor's guidance. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Your best approach is to get your calcium levels tested and discuss any supplementation with your physician to avoid the serious side effects associated with excessive intake.
