Shaklee CorEnergy
Brand: Shaklee · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Shaklee CorEnergy primarily supplies calcium, which is essential for bone health and muscle function. Our assessment: this product can help you meet your calcium needs, but the data is limited to this single mineral, and you should not expect benefits beyond those supported by calcium research [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler. It supports bone mineralization by depositing into your skeleton and helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. This makes it a key nutrient for maintaining strong bones and normal muscle function as you age.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for Shaklee CorEnergy are not available. For calcium specifically, the data warns that high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Extremely high blood and urine calcium levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you need extra calcium, Shaklee CorEnergy can be a useful option, but you must be cautious with dosing. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend you take this supplement at least two hours apart from these medications and consult your doctor to confirm your total daily calcium intake from all sources does not exceed safe limits [NIH ODS].
