How it works
Calcium plays a role in bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the lack of specific dosage information for this product, we recommend you check the label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are already taking calcium from other supplements or dietary sources, be cautious about exceeding the recommended daily intake. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
