ProCaps Laboratories Men's Elite-100 With Maximum Essential Omega-3 500 mg
Brand: ProCaps Laboratories · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product is Calcium, which is a well-studied mineral. For general health, the data supports calcium’s role in bone health, but for a "Men's Elite" formula, the current data is limited. We cannot assess the Omega-3 component as specific data for that ingredient was not provided. Our assessment is that this product provides a known mineral, but its specific benefits for men's athletic performance are not supported by the data provided.
How it works
Calcium functions as a master regulator for your body’s structure and function. It supports bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density and strength. Additionally, calcium plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product’s adverse events. However, for the ingredient Calcium, FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products containing this ingredient. Side effects from high calcium intake can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data]. High intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you focus on getting calcium from dietary sources first. If you choose to supplement, be aware of the potential for high intake to cause side effects and interfere with medications [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Because the data for the Omega-3 component and the specific "Men's Elite" formulation is not available, we cannot recommend this product over a standard, single-ingredient calcium supplement. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any prescription medications.
