Our assessment
The evidence shows that Coral Coral Heme Iron is a supplement providing calcium. Our assessment: calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but the specific product details are limited. Data on the exact dosage per serving and the source of the calcium is not available from the provided data.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, acting as a key component for strong bones. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this individual product are not available. The safety data for calcium as an ingredient shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: If you are considering this product, be aware of the potential risks of high calcium intake. Do not exceed the recommended dosage on the label. If you take any of the listed medications (bisphosphonates, certain antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin), take this supplement at a different time of day, as calcium can interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney disease or heart conditions. Data on the specific benefits of the "heme iron" portion of this product is not available.
