Ox Nutrition Multi-Vitamin

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Ox Nutrition Multi-Vitamin contains the mineral calcium, which is essential for your body. However, the data we have is limited to this single ingredient, and we cannot assess the full formula or its specific benefits without a complete list of ingredients and their amounts. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical nutrient, you should approach this product with caution due to the lack of comprehensive data.

How it works

Calcium functions as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization to maintain density and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, for the ingredient calcium, FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. Potential side effects from high calcium intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. High levels may also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We cannot recommend Ox Nutrition Multi-Vitamin based on the available data. The product label is not provided, and we only have information on one ingredient. For calcium, you should aim to meet your needs through food first, and if you use a supplement, choose one with a clearly labeled dose. Always talk to your doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you take medications [NIH ODS].

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• Serving Size — The recommended amount per dose. Always check this — some products require multiple capsules per serving.
• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
