Our assessment
The evidence shows that your product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for maintaining bone density, but you should be aware of important safety considerations and potential interactions with medications [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, for calcium overall, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though this number is not specific to your product [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you be cautious with calcium supplementation. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Before starting, talk with your doctor to determine if you need a calcium supplement and at what dose, especially if you have any health conditions or take prescription medications. Data not available for the specific amount of calcium in your product.
