Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium, as found in Klaire Labs Magnesium Citrate, plays a key role in bone health and nerve function. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this mineral. Our assessment is that calcium is effective for its intended uses, but requires careful management to avoid side effects [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA 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.

Our recommendation
We recommend you take calcium only if you cannot meet your needs through diet. Be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
