Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment: calcium is well-documented for supporting bone density and muscle function, but you must be aware of its potential risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific daily dose or serving size for this product. Check the product label carefully. If you take any of the medications listed, separate your calcium intake by at least 2 hours. Speak with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
