How it works
Calcium is essential for bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which aids in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products, though data specific to this product is not available. For calcium, some research suggests that a high intake might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before using this product, consider that its total calcium content is not fully disclosed on the label. If you already take a calcium supplement or consume dairy, you may be at risk of exceeding safe levels. We recommend discussing this product with your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the interacting medications listed above.
