Brand: 21st Century VitaJoy Gummies · Form: GUMMY [E0176]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the 21st Century VitaJoy Gummies Omega + DHA product contains calcium, which supports bone health and nerve function. However, the data provided is for the ingredient calcium, not for the specific product’s omega and DHA content. For the calcium in these gummies, our assessment is that you should be cautious: high calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones by supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also helps your muscles relax and supports nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific product’s side effects. For calcium generally, FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, take this supplement at a different time of day, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for any digestive discomfort.
