How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, very high levels in your blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, a frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take this product at a different time than those drugs [NIH ODS].
