Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but it requires careful dosing. For the product Enzymatic Therapy Energizing Iron, specific data on calcium content is not available. Our assessment is based on the calcium ingredient data provided. You should not assume this product provides significant calcium unless the label confirms it, as the primary ingredient listed is iron.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need this mineral every day to keep your bones strong and your muscles working properly.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Data not available on specific report counts for calcium alone from the FDA data provided.
Our recommendation
Do not exceed 2,500 mg of total calcium per day from all sources (food and supplements) [NIH ODS]. Since this product is primarily an iron supplement, check the label carefully for calcium content. If you are taking medications for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections, separate calcium intake by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before adding a new supplement to your routine.
