Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, calcium, has a clear role in bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks. Our assessment: for most adults, getting calcium from food is preferable, and supplements should be used cautiously to avoid exceeding recommended intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
