Brand: MaritzMayer Laboratories · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product’s key ingredient, calcium, is essential for bone health, but the data also points to important risks you should consider before taking this multi-vitamin. Our assessment is that while calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular function, the safety profile includes notable concerns that require your attention [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific report counts for this product are not available in the provided data. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you speak with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications or have a history of kidney issues or heart disease. Because high calcium intakes carry serious risks, do not exceed the recommended dose on the label. Data on other ingredients in this product is not available [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
