Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot confirm the specific dose or the presence of vitamin B6 in this formulation, as the label information is listed as "See label" and the ingredient list is incomplete. For a general audience, calcium is a well-studied supplement, but you should be cautious about the source and dosage of any product you choose [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to maintain density and strength. Additionally, calcium plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. Data not available for side effects specific to this product. However, general safety data for calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the label information is incomplete, we cannot recommend this specific product. For calcium, you should aim to meet your needs through food first. If you choose a supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
