Good 'N Natural ONE Multivitamin/Mineral Formula
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Good 'N Natural ONE Multivitamin/Mineral Formula provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For most adults, achieving the recommended intake through diet is preferable, and a multivitamin can help fill gaps. However, the data on calcium supplementation requires a careful look at both benefits and risks.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Focus on getting calcium from food sources first, as diet is the preferred method. If you use this multivitamin, take it with food and separate it from any medications by at least 2 hours to avoid absorption issues. Data not available on the specific calcium dose in this product, so check the label carefully. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take any of the listed medications, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
