How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineralization, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on specific side effect report counts for this product.
Our recommendation
Because of the potential for serious side effects and medication interactions, we recommend you consult your doctor before using this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for any adverse effects [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
