Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should be aware of the specific safety considerations and potential interactions linked to this mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton to maintain bone density. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which supports healthy muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious with additional calcium supplementation if you already consume dairy or fortified foods. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific amount of calcium in this product is not available, so you should check the product label carefully [See label].
