Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which plays a key role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].

How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is what makes calcium essential for your overall skeletal and neuromuscular health.
Safety profile
High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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]. Specific side effect report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your healthcare provider before adding this supplement to your routine, especially if you take any of these medications.
