Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks and medication interactions. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization, depositing minerals to keep your bones dense and strong. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. Some research suggests that high calcium 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
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Take calcium at least two hours apart from these medications [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific dosing of this product. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
