Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data for this specific product is limited. We can assess the role of its ingredient, calcium, but we cannot make claims about the probiotic or prebiotic blend due to missing data.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block your skeleton relies on every day.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. For calcium generally, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in the blood 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because data for the probiotic and prebiotic components are not available, we cannot recommend this product for its intended use. If you are considering a calcium supplement, be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
