Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as its active ingredient. Calcium is essential for bone health, but the data does not indicate that this specific supplement provides any unique benefit beyond standard calcium intake. You should know that calcium supplements are most effective when taken with vitamin D, but this product’s label does not list vitamin D as an ingredient. Data not available for the specific efficacy of this brand.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For you, this means calcium helps keep your skeleton strong and your muscles functioning properly.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels 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]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should only take this supplement if you know you are not getting enough calcium from your diet. The RDA for most adults is 1,000 mg daily from all sources. Because calcium can interfere with important medications, take it at a different time of day than any prescription drugs you use [NIH ODS]. Start with the lowest effective dose and consult your doctor before beginning, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease [NIH ODS].
