MaritzMayer Laboratories Multi Vitamin 2400
Brand: MaritzMayer Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in this multi-vitamin can be beneficial for bone health, but it also carries important risks. For most adults, the goal is to meet, not exceed, the recommended intake from diet and supplements combined [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
There are 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products in the FDA database. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause constipation, nausea, poor muscle tone, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and all supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine — take them at separate times [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific dose in this product is not available, so consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
