Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your bone health, but the data also highlights important safety considerations you need to be aware of before taking a supplement like Supreme Nutrition Products Alaria Supreme [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specifically for this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. 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].
Our recommendation
Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications listed above. Because the data shows high calcium intakes carry risks, you should aim to get your calcium from food first and only supplement under professional guidance [NIH ODS].
