Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that PhysioLogics Male Performax contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes are linked to potential risks, including heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Our assessment is that you should evaluate your total calcium intake from all sources before adding this supplement.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition through the process of bone mineralization [NIH ODS]. It also acts as a nerve relaxant, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. High levels of calcium in your 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 absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dosage in PhysioLogics Male Performax. We recommend you check the supplement label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you already take a calcium supplement or eat a calcium-rich diet, adding more may increase your risk of the side effects listed above [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting, especially if you take any prescription medications [NIH ODS].
