Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in this product is a well-researched mineral with clear benefits for bone health. However, you should be aware of significant safety considerations. Data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. We advise a careful review of your total daily calcium intake from all sources before starting this supplement.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, helping to keep your skeleton strong. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by calculating your current calcium intake from food and other supplements. If you take this product, take it separately from any medications listed above by at least 2 hours. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
