How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a messenger for your nerves. It helps your body deposit minerals into bone tissue for density and strength, and it supports the relaxation phase of muscle contraction and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data].
