Our assessment
The evidence shows that coral calcium, including products like Coral Cinnamon 6, is primarily a source of the mineral calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, there is no data provided that this specific product offers any unique benefit over standard calcium supplements. The data we have focuses on calcium in general, not this specific formulation.
How it works
Calcium functions as a master regulator for your body. It is critical for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium throughout your life to maintain strong bones.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports total across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to Coral Cinnamon 6 is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious. Do not exceed the recommended intake for calcium without consulting your doctor. Because calcium can interfere with other medications, take this product at a different time of day than any prescription drugs you use. Before starting, check with your healthcare provider to ensure this product is safe for you, especially given the potential risks of high calcium intake [NIH ODS].
