Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious with any supplement providing additional calcium, as the data reveals significant risks at high intakes. The total adverse event reports for this product category are 592,059, which is a substantial number to consider [FDA data].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to get your calcium needs assessed by a healthcare professional before taking this supplement. Most adults obtain sufficient calcium through diet alone. If you do require supplementation, be aware of the potential for serious side effects and drug interactions. Data on the specific amount of calcium in this product is not available, so you cannot accurately gauge your intake [NIH ODS].
