Our assessment
The evidence shows that Klean Athlete Klean Probiotic is a supplement that contains calcium as an ingredient. Based on the data, calcium plays a well-established role in the body, but there are important considerations for you regarding dosage and safety. Data not available on the specific probiotic strains or their unique benefits for this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it is also essential for 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 for all dietary supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should assess your total calcium intake from all sources—food and supplements—to ensure you are not exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the medications listed (such as thyroid medication or certain antibiotics), take this probiotic at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the specific dose of calcium in this product, so check the label carefully. Start with a low dose and monitor for any gastrointestinal discomfort. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate concerns, consult your healthcare provider before use [NIH ODS].
