Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 15 mg of zinc per serving. However, the primary ingredient in the data provided is calcium, not zinc. For calcium specifically, the data shows it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Data on the exact form or efficacy of the zinc in this specific product is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For the zinc component, specific mechanisms for this product are not provided in the data.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney issues, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Side effect report counts specific to this product are not available.
Our recommendation
Start by checking your daily zinc and calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Be aware of the potential for high calcium intake to increase health risks and interact with medications [NIH ODS]. If you take medications, consult your doctor before adding this supplement. Data on the specific zinc dosage and form for this product is not available to provide a more tailored recommendation.
