How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and it also promotes neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural foundation for your skeleton and a key facilitator for your nerves and muscles to communicate effectively.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this Mullein Blend. For calcium, the general recommendation is to meet your needs through food first. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take calcium supplements, take them separately from other medications by at least two hours to avoid interactions [NIH ODS].
