Our assessment

The evidence shows that the calcium in GHI Omega 8060 plays a key role in bone health, but you need to be careful with your total daily intake. Data not available for the exact dosage of calcium in this specific product, so you should check the label carefully [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes are linked to risks including constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. High levels in the blood can cause poor kidney function and extreme tiredness [NIH ODS] [FDA data].

Our recommendation

Check the label for the exact calcium amount per serving. Do not exceed 2,000 to 2,500 mg total from food and supplements daily. Take calcium separately from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
