How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. If you are using this product to address a B vitamin deficiency, be aware that the calcium content may provide additional benefits for your skeletal and neuromuscular systems.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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
We recommend you check your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you are taking any of the medications listed that interact with calcium, take this product at a different time of day. For specific B vitamin needs, data on the exact B complex levels in this product is not available, so consult your healthcare provider to confirm this product matches your requirements [NIH ODS].
