Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in this product is a key mineral for bone health. However, you should be aware that the data does not provide specific information on the formulation or dosage of calcium in this product. The information we have is based on the ingredient calcium alone, not on the final product as a whole [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density through mineralization and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products, but the specific report count for this product is not available. For the ingredient calcium, some research suggests 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific dosage of calcium in this product. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, you should take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
