Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is well-documented for supporting bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks and interactions. The data does not provide specific dosage information for this product, so we cannot confirm the exact amount of calcium per serving.

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Data on specific side effects for this product is not available.

Our recommendation

We recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications that calcium may interfere with. Given the potential risks of high calcium intake, you should not exceed the recommended dietary allowance unless directed by your doctor [NIH ODS]. Always check the product label for the exact serving size and calcium content, as this data is not provided here.
