Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation before use [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. You should separate calcium dosing from these medications by at least two hours. Data on the specific dosage and form of calcium in this product is not available, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice [NIH ODS].
