Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bing Black contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can contribute to your daily calcium intake, but you need to be careful with total supplementation from all sources to avoid exceeding safe upper limits [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products. For calcium specifically, data is available on risks of high intake. High calcium levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. High intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Consider your total daily calcium intake from food and all supplements. Do not exceed recommended amounts. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium intake by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Data on specific side effects for this product is not available.
