Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with a well-documented role in bone health. However, the data available does not provide specific dosage information for this particular supplement, which limits our ability to give you a precise evaluation of its effectiveness for supporting testosterone levels. Data not available for the specific formulation of this product.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. While calcium is critical for overall health, the provided data does not establish a direct mechanism for how this ingredient specifically supports testosterone production.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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 bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the specific dose of calcium in this product is not provided, we cannot recommend it for supporting testosterone levels based on the available data. If you are considering a calcium supplement for bone health, work with your healthcare provider to determine an appropriate dose and to check for potential interactions with any medications you take [NIH ODS].
