OL Olympian Labs, Inc. Coral Calcium
Brand: OL Olympian Labs, Inc. · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the specific product "Coral Calcium" from OL Olympian Labs, Inc. does not have unique benefits over standard calcium supplements. Our assessment is based on the available data: calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, there is no data provided to suggest that coral calcium is superior to other calcium sources.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax after contracting by aiding nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This mineral is critical for your body's daily functions.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplement categories, but specific report counts for coral calcium are not available. The data shows that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium levels 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 medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. You should talk to your doctor before taking coral calcium, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. If you need calcium, a standard calcium supplement is likely just as effective. Always check with your healthcare provider to see if calcium supplementation is right for you [NIH ODS].
