Our assessment
The evidence shows that NDS Embrace Elite Slim-Tox contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral, but the data available does not support any specific weight loss or "slimming" claims for this product. Data on the specific formulation of this product is limited, so we must rely on the general properties of its listed ingredient.
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. It is essential for bone mineralization, which supports bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, safety data shows that high 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you approach this product with caution. Without data on the specific dose of calcium in this formula, it is difficult to assess its safety or effectiveness. If you are considering a calcium supplement, you should discuss your total daily intake with your healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels. Always be aware that calcium can interact with common prescription medications, so it is essential to check with a pharmacist or doctor before starting this supplement [NIH ODS].
