Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which plays a key role in bone health. However, the data on this specific formulation is limited, and you should be aware of the risks and interactions associated with calcium supplements.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and is also essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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].
Our recommendation
Because the data for this specific product is limited, we recommend you consult with your doctor before starting. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Your healthcare provider can help you assess your individual needs and risks.
