Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, but specific data on the ingredient Q-Folate is not available in the provided data. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it plays a well-established role in bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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
Start by checking if you need a calcium supplement, as most people get enough from diet. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because data for the Q-Folate ingredient is not available, consult your pharmacist or doctor before use.
