Our assessment

The evidence shows that while the product contains beneficial ingredients, the specific formula and dosages are not provided in the data. We can only assess the known ingredient, Calcium. For general health, calcium is essential, but you should be cautious about your total intake from all sources, including supplements and food [NIH ODS].

How it works

Calcium acts as a master regulator in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium supplements in general, very 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 a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but this number is not specific to this product [FDA data].

Our recommendation

Because the exact dosage of Calcium in this product is not listed in the data provided, we cannot make a specific dosing recommendation. If you choose to use this product, be mindful of your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Remember that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
