Brand: Terry Naturally · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Terry Naturally Clinical Iron is a calcium supplement, and calcium is essential for your health. However, you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium intake. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. We recommend you carefully monitor your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It works by supporting bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density, and by aiding neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. The safety profile for calcium includes specific risks. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from diet and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Take this supplement with food and separate it from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin by at least 2 hours, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
