How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not include specific information on Vitamin B6, we cannot offer a recommendation for the Solgar Vitamin B6 50 mg product. For calcium, work with your healthcare provider to determine if you need a supplement, as high intakes carry known risks. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
