Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious, as high calcium intakes from supplements may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, side effects from high levels in the blood and urine include 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend that you do not exceed the daily intake of calcium beyond what is needed for your age and health status. Consult your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. Data on the specific probiotic strains in this product is not available [NIH ODS].
