Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, based on the data provided, we have no specific studies or ingredient amounts for this particular product, so we must evaluate it based on the general properties of its listed ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical nutrient, you should be cautious about the dosage and form of this supplement, as the label details are not available here.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation and a cellular messenger. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density and strength. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. Side effects from high calcium intake can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine may also cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, and low phosphate levels [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the exact dosage of calcium in this product is not provided, we cannot give a precise daily intake recommendation. You should compare this supplement to your total calcium needs from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for you and to avoid exceeding the tolerable upper intake level.
