How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. Think of it as a foundational mineral — it supports bone mineralization and density, and is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body cannot maintain strong bones or properly regulate muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, safety data shows 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the exact amount of calcium in this specific product is not stated on the label, we cannot recommend it for calcium supplementation. Your best approach is to get calcium from food sources or a standard, labeled calcium supplement where you know the exact dose. If you are taking any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, consult your pharmacist before adding any calcium-containing product to your routine [NIH ODS].
