Cellucor Super HD
Brand: Cellucor · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Super HD contains calcium as a key ingredient. For most adults, the goal is to meet your daily calcium needs through diet first, but a supplement can help fill gaps. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a mineral messenger — it is critical for bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals into your skeleton for strength. It also supports muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for supplement products. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take any medications listed above, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours. Data not available for exact calcium dose in this product — check the label carefully [NIH ODS].
