Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Plus Ultra-Mins Multiple Mineral With Whole Foods is a mineral supplement, but specific data for this product is not available. The key ingredient, calcium, is well-documented for its role in bone health, but you need to be aware of significant safety considerations and potential medication interactions before starting it [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a cellular messenger. It is essential for bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is crucial for proper muscle function and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The data warns that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high levels of calcium in the blood and urine include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, you should carefully review your total calcium intake from all sources including food and other supplements. If you take any medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
