Our assessment
The evidence shows that Radiance Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc provides a foundation for bone health and muscle function. Our assessment is that this combination supplement can be a practical way to support your daily mineral intake, but you must be aware of the specific risks associated with calcium supplementation.
How it works
Think of the calcium in this supplement as a structural building block for your bones, supporting bone density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The formula is designed to deliver these minerals in a chelated form, which may improve absorption.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Data not available on specific report counts for this product's ingredients.
Our recommendation
We recommend you take this supplement with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Separate your dose of this supplement from those medications by at least two hours. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor how you feel.
