Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health. However, you should be aware of important safety considerations. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. We recommend a cautious approach.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization — it helps deposit minerals into your bone tissue to maintain density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. High levels of calcium in your 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the potential risks, you should not exceed the recommended dietary allowance for calcium without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you have kidney disease or a history of heart problems.
