The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented roles in bone health and nerve function. However, we must be clear: the data provided does not include any specific studies, dosages, or ingredient amounts for the "California Academy of Health Calm Magnesium Caps" product itself. Our assessment is based solely on the calcium content listed in the ingredient data. The provided data does not confirm this product contains magnesium, despite its name.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to maintain density and strength. Additionally, calcium plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Based on the calcium data, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney dysfunction, 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
Because the exact dosage of calcium in this product is not provided in the data, we cannot recommend a specific starting dose. Before taking this supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider to discuss your current calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) and any medications you take. Given the potential for serious side effects and drug interactions, a personalized approach is essential. Data on the product's magnesium content is not available.
