Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium supplements can be beneficial for you if you are not meeting your needs through diet, but they require careful dosing and timing to avoid risks and drug interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and 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 supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you assess your daily calcium intake from food first. If you need a supplement, take it with food and separate it from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
