Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for this product. However, based on the ingredient calcium, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer.

The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by evaluating your total dietary calcium intake before adding this supplement.

Talk to your doctor or a clinical pharmacist to determine if this product is right for you, especially if you take any of these medications [NIH ODS].
