Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, without a specific dosage per serving on the label, we cannot provide a precise evaluation of this particular supplement's adequacy or safety for your individual needs. Data on the specific ingredients besides Calcium is not available.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator in your body. It supports bone mineralization to maintain bone density and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific side effect reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in the blood and urine can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, 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, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the label does not provide a specific amount of Calcium per serving, we cannot recommend a starting dose. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this product meets your needs. If you take any prescription medications, especially for thyroid or bone conditions, discuss potential interactions with your pharmacist or doctor before use [NIH ODS].
