Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot verify the specific benefits or purity of this particular brand, as the label information is incomplete. Our assessment: Calcium is well-studied, but you should approach any supplement with clear labeling and a known reputation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Without enough calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though specific counts for this product are not available. Based on calcium data, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high blood calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you get your calcium intake from food sources first, such as dairy or fortified plant milks. If you choose a supplement, look for one with a clear brand and dosage. Be aware of potential medication interactions, and do not exceed the RDA without a doctor’s guidance [NIH ODS]. For specific side effect reports on this exact product, data is not available.
