Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium, a key ingredient in this supplement, is important for bone health, but the data also reveals significant safety considerations. For most women, it is best to prioritize getting calcium from food and to discuss supplementation with your doctor, as high intakes carry notable risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a structural building block for your bones, supporting bone density and mineralization. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the material that keeps your skeleton strong and your muscles and nerves communicating properly.
Safety profile
High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excessive levels in the blood and urine can cause nausea, constipation, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific data for this product is not available [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your dietary calcium intake from dairy, leafy greens, and fortified foods. Do not exceed 1,000 mg per day from all sources combined unless directed by your physician. Take calcium supplements separately from thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
