Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium from food is generally well-tolerated, you should be aware of the specific risks associated with high intakes from supplements. Data on the exact amount of calcium in this specific product is not available, so you should check the label carefully [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key mineral your body uses to keep your skeleton strong and your muscles functioning properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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, 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 first check the label of this product for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are taking any medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For most healthy adults, try to meet your calcium needs through food first, and use supplements only to fill any gaps in your diet.
