Our assessment
Our assessment: Mt. Capra Capra Mineral Whey provides calcium, which is essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the evidence shows that calcium from food sources is generally preferred over supplements, and you should be aware of potential risks with high intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood and urine calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, 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
Start by assessing your dietary calcium intake from food first. If you choose to supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your doctor before adding this product to your routine.
