How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in your blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the recommended dietary allowance without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your supplement dose by at least two hours. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease [NIH ODS].
