Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the data also highlights important safety considerations. For a general audience, it is crucial to understand that calcium supplements require careful dosing and timing to avoid risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has 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. 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
We recommend you get calcium primarily from food sources. If you need a supplement, take it in divided doses (500 mg or less at a time) and with food for better absorption. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
