Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific dosage in this skullcap extract is not provided, which limits a precise recommendation. For general wellness, calcium is a key nutrient, but you should be aware of both its benefits and risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones. Additionally, it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

However, based on the calcium content, high levels of calcium 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].

Our recommendation
Because the exact calcium dosage in this product is not listed on the label, we cannot provide a specific daily intake. If you are taking this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are on any of these medications or have concerns about heart or kidney health [NIH ODS].
