Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not provide specific dosage information for this product, and we must rely on general guidance for calcium supplementation. For most adults, the goal is to meet your daily needs through diet first, as high supplemental doses carry notable risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes can increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects of too much calcium include 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 the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and any other supplements you take. If you need a supplement, aim for a dose that fills the gap, not exceeds it. Always take calcium supplements with food and at a different time than your thyroid medication or antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
