Solgar Kangavites Complete Multivitamin & Mineral Natural Bouncin' Berry Flavor
Brand: Solgar · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multivitamin contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific amounts of each ingredient in this product are not listed in the data provided. For a general audience, a multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps, but it is not a substitute for a balanced diet [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without enough calcium, your body will pull it from your bones to support other functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 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 constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific calcium dosage in this product. If you take this multivitamin, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Space calcium supplements from these medications by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
