Biovea Complete Multi-Vitamin
Brand: Biovea · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The Biovea Complete Multi-Vitamin contains calcium, but the evidence for its benefits depends heavily on your current diet and health status. Calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before starting this supplement, review your total calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any medications listed above, separate them from this supplement by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
