Our assessment
The evidence shows that Omega JYM provides calcium as a key mineral. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for bone health, but you must be careful with dosing to avoid potential risks. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for this product. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of high calcium levels include 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].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. Be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. You should take calcium at a separate time from these medications.
