Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, and the data on calcium is well-established. However, without a specific dosage per serving, we cannot provide a precise assessment of this particular formula. The data confirms that calcium is essential for bone mineralization and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in their database. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
