For calcium specifically, our assessment is that you should be cautious with supplementation, as high intakes may pose health risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a product-specific recommendation. Before taking ProCaps Laboratories Iron Plus, consult your healthcare provider to determine if you have a confirmed deficiency.
