Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but the product Life Zone KELA +2 Iron does not list calcium as an ingredient. Based solely on the data provided, we cannot assess a benefit for this specific product regarding calcium. The information below applies to calcium supplements in general, which are not confirmed to be in this product.
How it works
Calcium supports your body through two primary mechanisms: bone mineralization, where it helps build and maintain bone density, and neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. For calcium supplements in general, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but a specific count for calcium is not provided [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Since the product label does not list calcium as an ingredient, you should not rely on Life Zone KELA +2 Iron for calcium intake. If you are considering a calcium supplement, be aware of potential interactions: calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
