SuperSmart Calcium AEP
Brand: SuperSmart · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but the data does not provide specific details on "Calcium AEP" as a unique form. You are considering a supplement that provides calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits and significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific "Calcium AEP" form is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before starting, check with your doctor to see if you need a calcium supplement, as many people get enough from diet. If you take it, be aware of the medication interactions listed above and take calcium separately from these drugs. Do not exceed recommended intake levels without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
