BulkSupplements.com Calcium BHB
Brand: BulkSupplements.com · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The active ingredient in this product is calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware that some research suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. We recommend a careful approach to supplementation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, a process called bone mineralization. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high levels 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
Our recommendation: Because specific dosage information for this product is not provided in the data, we cannot advise a specific intake level. Do not exceed the recommended dietary allowance without medical supervision. If you take any medications for osteoporosis, thyroid issues, or infections, check with your doctor before starting calcium supplements due to the interaction risk [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific benefits or risks of the “BHB” component is not available.
