Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer.

Data on side effects specific to ProSol Probiotic 10 is not available.
Our recommendation
If you take this product, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Given the potential risks of high calcium intake, consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
