Our assessment
The evidence shows that EXOS Performance Nutrition Probiotic contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Data on the specific probiotic strains in this product is not available, so our assessment focuses on the calcium content. For bone mineralization and neuromuscular function, calcium is well-supported [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are taking this product for its calcium content, be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions. Data on the specific probiotic strains in this product is not available. Do not exceed the RDA for calcium without consulting your healthcare provider. Separate calcium supplements from thyroid or antibiotic medications by at least 4 hours [NIH ODS].
