How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. Specific to calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific daily dosage of this product. You should be cautious with calcium supplementation. Check with your doctor before starting this product, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
