The data does not provide any other specific health claims for the other ingredients in this product.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system, supporting bone mineralization and density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high levels 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 [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours. Always consult your doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
