Our assessment
The evidence shows that Daily Nutrition Calcium Magnesium provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For most adults, the goal is to meet the RDA for calcium through diet and supplements, but you need to be aware of the specific risks associated with high intake [NIH ODS].
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 key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect reports for this product. However, for calcium, 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]. The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you get your calcium from food first. If you supplement, do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
