Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, but data for other ingredients is not available. Calcium is a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health, but it also carries notable risks that you should be aware of before supplementing [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signaler for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and strength, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Be cautious. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because data on other ingredients in this product is not available, we cannot make a full safety assessment. If you choose to take this, discuss your total calcium intake with your healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels.
