Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in this product, calcium, is well-studied for bone health. However, you should be aware of the potential risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation. Data not available for the specific product formulation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine 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
You should be cautious with calcium supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Discuss your current medications and health status with your doctor before starting this supplement.
