How it works
Calcium works in your body as a key mineral for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you take any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take this product at least 2 hours apart from those medications. Do not exceed the daily recommended intake for calcium without consulting your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
