Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for this product is limited. The active ingredient, calcium, supports bone health, but the data provided does not specify the exact form or dose of calcium in this product. You should be cautious about relying on this supplement without confirming its specific calcium content and your individual needs [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that plays a key role in bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and the deposition of minerals into your skeleton. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Some research suggests that high calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data not available for a specific dosage of this product. Before taking this supplement, check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. You should aim to meet your calcium needs primarily through food, and consult your doctor to determine if supplementation is right for you, especially if you take any medications listed above [NIH ODS].
