Our assessment
The evidence shows that Anabolic Laboratories B6-Plus contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this supplement can be an effective way to meet your calcium needs, but you must be careful with dosing to avoid potential risks. Data not available for the specific dose in this product, so you should check the label carefully.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific numbers for this product are not available. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the exact calcium dose on the label. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 2,500 mg per day from all sources (food and supplements) without medical supervision [NIH ODS]. Take this supplement separately from your thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least two hours. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
